Are concentration camps a good idea? (Time out:0 days after 24-09-2001, 00:26)
No, I don't think I even need to justify my answer.
Yes, they are a realistic part of civilization and should be included.
I don't object morally, but it's just not really a good idea.

Concentration Camps: Good Idea? Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Well my answer is 1. See the genocide thread for more details on its implementation.

Actually, my faith in the moral fiber of the forumers in this group is shaken, and I am really curious to see how the poll will turn out since you did get a lot more people to support your idea of genocide in your thread than I thought you would. I'm worried that more people will support it, and not confident at all that more people will agree with me.

Most civ players have (at one time or another) starved a city in an attempt to get rid of it. How is this worse? Are you forgetting that IT ISN'T REAL?

Oh, you're right, I didn't realize that it was only a game and that it wasn't real. How silly of me.

I think it just adds one more detail that would lengthen the development time and possibly disrupt the game.

Of course, if they made it easier to starve people out of their cities, that would add a whole new facet to the strategic framework.

Why are you making such a big deal over it? Have you ever starved a city to get rid of it (by shrinking it down to size 1 then building a settler)?

It's like not implementing Fascsim in the game - yes it sucked and we hate it, but it still existed.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Actually I like the idea of a concentration camp/Gulags. It should be a city improvement...


It would have an effect like this, -20% dissent/discontent (Rounding up political prisoners so they dont cause trouble..only availble under Communist Regime)

Sounds like a pretty damn good idea

How about this:

When you capture a city you have the option of turning some, or all, of the city's population points into slave labour units (same as workers, except they cost nothing).

Just because something is a realistic part of history doesn't mean it should be included. There are boundaries of good taste.

You can all pretend to your hearts content that when you demolish a city that you ship of the inhabitants to death camps. I'd just as well not see it in the game, the same way I don't want to see a realistic game where someone goes around raping women.

i dont like the idea morally (l lost many relatives in holocaust)
i dont like the idea in gameplay-there is the option to demolish city already...

face it guys... there gonna be no concentration camps in civ3 or any civ game. nobody would want to see such a sick thing in a game like civ. The firaxians do not want to implement such a horrible thing into civ3 because people would not want to play with concentration camps in the game. Sometimes even the smallest reminder, or something that makes light of it, can be devastating
