They're also working with the Shawnee and their chief, who is himself a huge Civilization fan, to ensure they portray Tecumseh and his people well.

MODERATORS
To be honest, I didn't think accurate depiction was a huge Civ development goal when you have stuff like nuclear Gandhi.
I think that's a fair point, and also it's cool that they want to try to be sensitive to a group that's historically gotten the raw end of the deal much of the time.
It's small progress, but better than business as usual.
Gandhi was a pedo and should have never been included into the game
I've never heard of Ghandi being a pedophile before, do you have any details?
the allegations i am aware of are of him keeping early teenage girls around as sex slaves, among generally weird shit with children... topic is rather controversial same as with Mohamed and American celebraties in second half of 20th century where followers will explain "it was a different time"
I looked into it some, and the closest I could find was some biographies say he slept in a bed with his grandnieces to prove his commitment to his vow of chastity. But that was about everything I found that wasn't just some random people saying he was a rapist without sources.
None of it was super substantial and several reports I saw were directly conflicting (for example one said he forced himself on his wife and it was so bad she would throw up after, the next said he had to force himself to have sex with his wife and that he would throw up after because he was so repulsed by sex).
It seems like he was definitely racist towards South Africans, but most everything on the pedophile/sexual deviant side seems made up or conflicting with no proper sources. Until someone shows me something better I'm inclined to not put any weight into those claims.
That's a fair take... not going to dispute allegations are shakey... but so was that Christina fundy who was fucking his own kids until people came out.
I doubt anyone will ever come for this Ghandi since everyone is prolly about dead now and his acolytes covered up well.
I still don't think it is proper to have him un a game played by children.
I already like the direction this game is going, I had already found humankind to be a lot more fun (I still probably will prefer it due to the graphics it gives) but now that they support Linux I will give them my complete attention
