David9855: I noticed how quickly my post was downvoted. We do live in an age of Ideologies and you can't argue and reason with fanatics.
dgnfly: You just gotta accept that people here can't cope with critical thinking. Let alone a decent debate.
Anything that is critical or isn't an opinion that is Ren and Stimpy style "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!"
is down voted.
Maybe so (I honestly think there is abuse when it comes to downvoting), but this is about a game. One shouldn't expect that level of realism from games. I understand, to a certain degree, where you're coming from (or at least I think so), but at the same time reading you love history made me think of various things. Not gonna mention them here, we can do that over PM (if you're willing, of course). Do we live in a different society than, say, a decade ago? Definitely. Are there certain agendas being encouraged? Most likely.
For me it's easy: I don't agree with the devs point of view, I don't back them up.
Something else and please don't take this as a personal attack: name-calling won't enforce your point of view. If anything, people will ignore it.
On topic now: I played a bit of Conquistador, I had some fun with it, but I was never gripped. Maybe it's not my type of game, still I wish the best to the team behind Rome. Also, it's nice to see there is still support for older systems.
