By the same token then you can say that there is serious impedement to whites, Asians, Hispanics and others for career advancement as players Look I'm not black but I am Arab and "olive skinned". I come from a place where people were "racist" and attacked me (as a young boy) and my parents...

This is how it occured in previous civs and I think this works really well. It adds a whole new dynamic and actually has a meaning to the capital city and gives incentive to attack/defend capital cities. The way it is now the Capital just moves to another city automatically with no penalty...

No but it is racist to want an African nation in Civ just because you are black and Africans are black. Just as it would be racist to root for Tiger Woods just because he looks black (and many people do this as well).

Excuse me I should have been more clear. I was not referring to all blacks, I was referring to those blacks with a chip on their shoulder like the first poster "pimpmasta" to whom I was responding. As for the fact that "mainstream blacks" have never complained about their representation in...

I do like the idea of having world sporting events, and the more people and culture you have the better your countries chances of success - however I think it would have to be rarer than once every two turns - maybe once every 25

I haven't posted here in forever but this is an incredibly ridiculous post and I feel that I must respond. First of all the developers of the game are not racist - they simply put in the civilizations that they feel had the biggest impact on history. You may disagree with them, but that is...

I know I'm REALLY late to this, but this was a great read. I never really followed these tales before, because they're so long but this was something else. I haven't played Civ in almost a year now, and reading this makes me want to ditch the real world for a while and start playing again...

Thanks for posting all this. I can't wait for Civ IV to come out! Hopefully it'll come out sooner than dh_epic expects it to though :D

They're pretty easy. The secret is to take the stickers off and put them back on but in matching colors. I never understood how people couldn't do it.

Of course it's not all, I would never make a generality like that, but it is an average. Just like on average men are taller than women. But I would never say that all men are taller than all women. For example Lisa Leslie is considerably taller than Gary Coleman.

The FBI didn't make this stereotype up. Of course most blacks are nice people are not involved in gangs. But blacks are more likely to commit certain crimes than whites, and whites are more likely to commit certain other crimes (like white collar crimes) than blacks. And Asians commit...

That and the fact that they are willing to take responsibily and don't want hand outs. Many blacks believe "the man" is keeping them down, so they don't even try.

I was born in the US. My parents had been here for a few years by the time I was born.
