| Funny you mention that, HiddenPalace. On the website for Civ V there is a discussion thread about whether Hitler should be included as a leader for Germany. The person who started the thread included the statement:
"It can be argued that MANY of the characters in Civilization were ruthlessly evil like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Genghis Khan all slaughtered and exterminated entire villages of innocent people during their time. Some even argue that Joseph Stalin was as equally if not more evil than Hitler."
The thread spends a lot of time talking about Mao too. In my mind, Hitler is the embodiment of pure evil- the very physical manifestation of it and should never be included. Why not include Gorby instead of Mao? |
