    I like Tuabman and I like diversity in my games but I hate the implication that the USA is sufficiently not fascist and white supremacist to have her as a leader.

      in the civilization universe, all civilizations are a blank slate that start during the early agrarian era. They don't yet pick an ideology or colonize others or do anything at that point. Also, in civ 7 she can be the leader of any civilization, leaders aren't bound to specific civs

      That's how I justify it to myself at least, it falls apart upon any introspection but that's how it goes with a silly 4x game with hammers and beakers

          I agree it should have some type of penalties, but it’s hard to implement fascism if you aren’t willing to include dirty historical realities like genocide and ethnic cleansing and colonialism.

          I understand why Civ doesn’t want to allow naziboos to roleplay as a genocidal maniac in their game

              Then we will lose communism as a playable option. The moment Firaxis removes fascism the “both sides” whining will be overwhelming

        Yeah for sure I don’t actually object to this.
