I wonder how many players went through the pacific ww2 conquest as the USA, rushed to build the A bomb... and then grinned when they gleefully dropped it on Japan. or just a regular civ game, build massive amounts of nukes and just blast the AI to bits.
why is nuking a people to nothingness perfectly acceptable, yet talking about recreating the holocaust in a game is so politcally incorrect that people jump up and down yelling close the thread, as if they we're victims of it. no one seems to care for the millions of russians, chinese, etc that also died during that period.
I think the idea overall is good, just not all that original. It's just dressing up something in the game, and that apparently some people find that dress very disgusting. besides, wouldn't this thread have been better in the creation forum?

I hate to see this thread litter the Creation Forum, however it is mostly a graveyard and this would then find a nice place among the dead...
You’re noting hypocrisy in regard to Atom Bombs and such is valid. So do we slide down and keep to the gutter with all this? As way of background, I was involved in ‘what if’ war games in the military a few decades ago (gee how good time flies) and we concluded that both politically and environmentally there is NO SUCH THING as a WINNABLE nuclear war or even the USE of only ONE bomb, anywhere at anytime against human populations.
Why? First, no matter who you are, it is instant political suicide.
Second? There is virtually nowhere populated that is also a valid target that would not poison your friends (or shall I say ‘former’ friends) and not as well poison yourself eventually in ways very hard to calculate.
World awareness and morality simply would fry the ‘offender’ who hurled such a weapon. Conclusion, our nuclear weapons are near worthless. This is why we in US have been pushing conventional upgrades right and left.
I do not play nuclear scenarios they leave my stomach sick.

Sounds like the old Cold War mentality (and impossible to verify short of actual use of many bombs). Bush believes, chillingly enough, that they can be used without the world coming to an end.

More important than caring about what America thinks, that's for sure.

ah and remember if it weren't for the US france would still be ....
my point about the nukes above is that there's already plenty of really bad things we can do in the game (i'm not the only one who'll kill off all non civ3 citizens). and then there's fuss because someone wants to stick a nazi symbol on it
