We should certainly do our best to avoid legal issues, but I also believe that we should not censor ourselves unnecessarily. Censorship is dangerous and it's something I want to fight against. One of the secondary purposes of this game is to be historically correct and to accurately (but with some artistic freedom) represent ancient cultures. The Mauryans are a culture of which only few people have heard, and it may come as a shock to some of the less educated amongst them that the Mauryan symbol of luck is similar to the swastika. But I believe that's a good thing, at least they learn something. That's my opinion, but this isn't my game, so I'll just leave it at that.

0 A.D. isn't meant to emulate the typical Starcraft click-a-thon strategies. Much of 0 A.D.'s gameplay has been designed to alienate the twitch-gamer. But having said that, micromanaging battles is still very important. And the "territory" aspect will always be a part of the "default" gameplay. However, we'll probably have a "classic" gameplay mode that removes territories and build limits and all that, to give it the typical Age of Empires feel.
