Hey, if we can't chuckle at the horrific American past, it's just going to depress us. I think it is juvenile to forbid yourself this great game just because a few people find hangings ridiculous. Lighten up mate.
The comment about wishing lynching to be socially acceptable is really tasteless, but saying that having gallows in a game focusing on medieval fantasy is also very silly. It's a game about killing your opponents and has dark magic in it; it's not like gallows is out of place. I don't get you, gunnergoz - least of all your correlation of gallows and juvenility.
If they had a guillotine in the game would that be too juvenile as well?
Nothing wrong with a bit of the macabre. It's not as if anyone will be actually hung in the game.
A few of the comments might have been in bad taste somewhat but to boycott the game because of it seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill here.
What?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
I don't know why people even answer him. If he want to be sensitive then let him....
Somebody has sand in their vagina.
So you can annihilate a city of a thousand or more with a volcano, start war after war to conquer the world, killing thousands in the process, or cast a spell to dominate all life in existence but a gallows is too much?
Someone needs some perspective...
Thank you, brother, I appreciate that. I've missed being around too so expect to see more of me when I feel up to it
also add upgrade - a single chair infront of chair a stage - when animation kicks in you see a justin beiber song happening and the poor sod in the chair trapped slowly agonizingly dying.ofcourse this upgrade causes massive penalties in city production and growth the production more because everyone in the city are arguing over whether its a female singer or male singer torturing the poor victims.
Only to those who cater to the Politically Correctness mentality. Political Correctness is a bane to socitey and should be abolished.
So I say to you BYE you will not be missed. And Kudos to Stardock for this. Sorry I just hate over-sensitive people.
Side story... I was at Walgreens the other day buying my Lady Gaga-ish eye makeup and there was a, I kid you not, a Justin Bieber "singing" toothbrush on the checkout rack. Yes, a Justin Bieber singing toothbrush... "As Seen on TV!" WTF.
I kid, I kid... about the Lady Gaga eye makeup. But the Bieber toothbrush is true.
That picture is completely unnacceptable in my eyes... there's no tools for drawing and quartering, for a start.
Yes, I, too, have changed my mind. i feel the gallows is just too tame for the harsh world of Elemental/FE. Hey, people are flocking to that 'beacon of hope' right next to the gallows. They are so happy because the gallows is so easy compared to scrapping by in the desert. SD should consider upgrading the gallows to a 'drawn and quarter' area. After all, drawn and quartered served many of the civilized nations, religions, and kingdoms of Earth. Oh, FE is a fantasy game? Its, like, all about crushing your opponenants and killing your enemies? Oh, then a gallows is inappropriate, its so, Real Life. FE needs a fantastical way to kill misbehaving citizens. Any ideas?
how about a flaming(burning flame image) spike that the rebel/enemy is sat on the top of, and when they get to the bottom they are cooked meat for the empire dregs to eat.
benefit is .5 food/turn while town has rebels/active war and more fear in town, costs 1 rebel/enemy / turn & 20 material 10 turns to build and requires L3 town
harpo
How about a monster that you feed rebel citizens. Maybe a sacrificial altar that give mana every season at the cost of one virgin. Or maybe a pit full of detrivores that you can feed freshly ground prisoners to, allowing them to lay eggs in the meat. eventually producing dozens of creatures you can use as soldiers.
FEET THEM TO THE RANCOR!!!that would be epic punishment upgrade
