Suicide Bombers

[paperchase417]

How about Suicide Bombers as a new modern seige weapon??

Or is that too real?

Maybe they can take over as Persias UU and replace Artliery instead.

 

[Mr. Civtastic]

Any sort of "terrorist" unit should cause unhappiness against a city.

Political correctness shoots this idea down: never will happen

And maybe the French can have special Cannibal units instead of regular Knights? Since the Franj engaged in cannibalism in the city of Ma'arra against the Muslims in the Crusades?

Or perhaps you can add new special buildings for Americans, like the Abu Ghraib prison wonder in which you get to rape and sodomize innocent people? Or maybe the Israelis can get cool refugee camps or they get a special civic called apartheid.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't mean to sound harsh. Guess you hit a sore topic for me. The Muslims have a glorious history, and it would be very wrong for Firaxis to diminish them by creating such an offensive unit, thereby casting an entire civilization as being terrorists. The parallel of this is creating a special Jew specialist who get extra gold from exploitation, or all slaves in the game being black. I'm sure none of us would stand for such a thing, and I certainly would not. MOST Civ players have an appreciation of history, and they would know that the Muslims were generally considered very peaceful, as evidenced by Saladin's leader traits of philosophical/spiritual, and not aggressive/warlike.

Again, sorry for snapping.
