Registering to a forum you have lurked for almost two years is always a painful and uncomfortable step, just thinking of retyping that e-mail address got my nostrils flaring... One must understand the depth of the COMMUNIST RAGE on display here, as I have done just that, for one reason and one reason only:
Motherland Calls is cancelled?!?
Whoaaaah!?! Megabummer. Low down megabummer. Lame-core to the maximum. Choosing Order just lost all flavor for me. The name of the ideology is already a skewed up, nonsensical thing. (How about Equality or just downright Communism?) That statue gave Order back a good deal of its vibe and now they replace it with... The Kremlin?!?! Which I hear, lets you build tanks now?
Dear sirs, this is a gargling bunch of absurdity. I pray to god modders will find a way of patching it up, if only the quote was already voice-acted, so it could be implemented seamlessly.
Sigh, it was a wonderful, wonderful wonder. The illustration alone was perhaps my favorite of all the (truly wonderful) Civ V wonder paintings. And just imagining that baby on a hilltop near my capitol...
Oh well...
Prora? It's OK I guess. Not a biggy. Zeppelinfeld or that giant-ass square Mussolini built would have been just fine too, it doesn't bother me. Nazis were a lot of things but wonderful was not one of them. And even with that taken into account, I would rather have an unfinished folly in the vain of Prora - like the Baikal-Ural-Magistral for example - as the Order wonder, instead of a tank-producing czarist cake.
Or, I don't know, Gagarin's Start at Baikonur. Where the Soviets sent the first human being into space.
OK, I've vented. Good luck with the modding and hey, love the forum, btw. A good read it has been.
