Ten or twenty years ago Macdonald would have been the obvious choice, he was going through something of a high point image-wise. However politics has shifted pretty rapidly since then and Firaxis doesn't want the game boycotted.

Sorry if this has already been raised (long thread, don't have time to read it all), but I only heard Laurier speaking French in the reveal video. Totally appropriate of course, I mean he was French. However, he was also an anglophile who spoke perfect English; in fact it was said of him by...

Yeah, I'm just getting tired of seeing the AI players build aerodromes and then not build planes. Like... why????
