Now I must vent something...
The amount of times Mao Zedong appears in this game series makes me feel sick, and also makes me wonder why [redacted] was never included, who didn't kill nearly as many people. They did have Josef Stalin, but only a couple of times in earlier versions of the game, certainly not as often as the man who killed more people than anybody else ever. I guess this means that the door is open for other leaders like Pol Pot (Cambodia), Ho Chi Minh (North Vietnam), Suharto (Indonesia), Hideki Tojo (Japan), Kim Il Sung (North Korea), Benito Mussolini (Italy), Josip Broz Tito (Yugoslavia), Ismail Enver Pasha (Ottoman Empire), Saddam Hussein (Iraq), Mullah Omar (Afganistan), Yahya Khan (Pakistan), Mengistu Haile Mariam (Ethiopia), Leopold II of Belgium (Colonial Congo), Yakubu Gowon (Nigeria), Jean Kambanda (Rwanda), Idi Amin (Uganda), Mobutu Sese Seko (Zaire and Congo), Charles Taylor (Liberia), Foday Sankoh (Sierra Leone), and many others...And why not? Mao Zedong and Josef Stalin get a place in the game series, so there's really no reason why we can't have all the rest of these mass murdering dictators. Why shouldn't we include a leader who is merely responsible for some 70 million deaths?
I've said it before...I won't buy the game if they add Mao Zedong again.
