So, Mao is in the game .And what he did was even worse .

Civ Leaders are actually balanced , they should be brilliant and horrible .

but mao only had a small bad effect...he overall changed china and made it the next big superpower....

Mao And Stalin were great because they changed their country into a superpower

Even if they did it ruthlessly.



Hitler, however, went too far, which is why his cons outweigh his pros.

Louis is a very heavy handed Monarchy, who did everything possible to keep everyone loyal and prevent revolt. If Louis XIV never died then their would be no French Rev, he would not stand for it. But all of this culture cost a whole lot of gold, and while he and his court led a life of Splendor the peasants had an impossible time with finances.
Basically he set it up so that if a weak handed ruler came in then France would crumble.

which is exactly what happened to Louis XVI. The Enlightment, heavy taxes over the years and the success of the American revolution all played as factors leading to the overthrow of the monarchy in France.

i completely agree with this statement...i see a lot of people saying that mao and stalin dont deserve to be in the game because they were a bit ruthless but on the other hand if they hadn't come to power the countries would have never gotten so far and possibly could have lost in world war 2...
