Help!, religious fanaticism in the real civi world...

THE CAPO
I'm not talking offensive as a whole... but just, in this particular case...
it's a church as the main menu of a VIDEO GAME!!!
call me paranoid but THAT is NOT funny.

Poe's Law.

Perhaps they could have used a different building, but I don't think the intent was to push a specific religion (Sid Meier is Jewish BTW), I figure they just thought it would make a good title menu image.

I thought Sid was Lutheran.

I thought Sid was Lutheran.

I'm fairly sure you're correct.

Meier currently lives in Hunt Valley, Maryland with his wife, Susan, and son, Ryan. He met his wife at Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cockeysville, where they both sing in the choir.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier#cite_note-5

Someone at Sid Meier's team wants the Whole WORLD
under his religion!!! NO, no room for freedom of choice!!!
Look carefully at the symbolism of this little image... Wow!

Well, maybe Sid's trying to win a Religious Victory...

Hello there!


...Well, I'm so happy to announce that
everything went smoothly and perfectly good!
Thank you very much AFFORESS
(wish I could know at least your first name)

You are Master... er... hmmm.. no...
YOU ARE THE KING OF THE WORLD!!!

Well, talking about the PE Explorer program,
With your instructions, took me about TWO minutes to
install, use and change everything... Perfect!.

As a matter of fact, it's a bit easier,
because instead of deleting the file... you just can -replace- it from
the same page already opened...

look, this in now my init screen:

and as a token of my gratitude I uploaded some pics
if you wish to use them.
(they are in the BMP format, as they need to be...)

Here's the content (obviously they're pics from Internet, public domain,
but already modified for the CIVILIZATION IV init. screen)

The file contains 8 pics and are uploaded to "mediafire".

Greetings to all!!!

It's a cultural landmark. Get over it. Have some more kool aid.

Heck, I am Protestant, and for a few decades Catholics killed thousands upon thousands of Protestants and yet I can still appreciate lovely architectural design by Catholics, and even atheists for that matter....

It's nice that you can appreciate lovely architecture...

...but to my eyes it's just stone, blood
and a lot of money some hungry children can use...
surely a place "NO real God" would go inside.


Any way... This is not the place to talk about this...
Wish you all a great time playing BtS...

(BTW, Great additions to the gameplay in this expansion...)
...well... cheers!!!

Hi!,
Me again...

Just to let you know...

If you are going to modify the Init screen BEFORE
patching your game (v. 3.19), it will be useless because you'll
Get all the original artwork again...

So...
Patch First!,
Modify Later!

Cheers!
