Slavery?

[Jack the Ripper]

This idea hit me one day in history class: why not have slaves in the game? Now please dont exlode on me for this but i think its a pretty good idea. I know that there are already workers in the game, but i think that in every battle that is won there should be chance that a few captured slaves taken from it. They should also be able to work on city projects.

captured workers are basically slaves.

Hmm, for actual slavery you would need the capability to grab native populations and put them to work, thus perhaps necessitating a Slaver unit like in CTP. Slavery was ok in that, but it arbitrarily ended when someone built Emancipation Act, not too realistic.

I always liked grabbing settlers with the Slaver in CTP. Swish-swish-swish - "HAH! You're MINE!" "Eeeaaah!"

LOL.

captured workers are basically slaves.

Ditto. Slavery is already implemented.

I guess it could be expanded upon, though. There could be an 'emancipation proclamation' wonder which ends slavery.

you have slaves in conquests,and you can even sacrifice them
"when you are wiiith me i'm freeee,i'm careless i belive..my sacrifice "
creed,i would like to sacrifice that band

Given the sacrifice ability in C3C, I'm suprised someone hasn't yet made a REALLY politically incorrect mod, where you have sort of a WWII scenario, and you are Nazi Germany, and you have the option to build workers out of captured cities or grab them, and then use the "Execute Final Solution" button with your SS unit to gain culture points and expand your lebensraum. Now THAT would really make people scream.

i agree ivan,it would be very,very...naughty

 

[Ivan the Kulak]

So go ahead and make it, Juka. You could call it the Endlosung Mod. Or maybe send the idea to the guy who did the Fascist Patch for Civ2, as I recall there was all kinds of screaming over that one too, lol.

 

[Juka The Dumb]

dont get me wrong ivan,we all like to get rid of our little frustrations in some way.i dont think that anyone should worry about the fledgling computer game players especialy now when you have some real dangerous people in charge of powerfull states,wouldnt you agree?

Maybe a nother use for barbarian huts. You can either ransack it or bring a slaver and export slaves from it.

The only problem I see with this is that someone will do as some people have suggested and make a mod out of it where you can do the "final soultion". Evil Bastards
