They could be useful if a morale system was introduced. I don't see much use otherwise. Except in scenarios.

Cool beans!

Riders on the Storm by the Doors.
The psychedelic never ends...
-
That game happens to be one of my favorite games in that genre. Even if there aren't that many. Caesar III is like SimCity, but with more killing... and Romans

I don't feel like having my citizen-soldiers having to go back to the ol' farm because their standards got stolen. Though that could be an interesting feature.

How have you fought for your rights? I believe that you, as a citizen of "Melville" recieve rights simply for doing something you are legally required to do: pay taxes. You get protection (such as the military and police forces). This is also known as the "Social Contract". It's nothing you particularly fight for. All it takes is complacency.

Nice to hear.

Hn. I guess my textbook never differentiated between the two Williams. I guess they figured "They're both Dutch! Who cares?" I can't really argue against that.
No offense to the Dutch. You guys were almost important for a while. Props to yo' mother.
This is my 100th post! Hoo-rah!

"The End" by The Doors.
Whoo! Psychedelic trip with an Oedipal section!

Natural laws are simply rights that all humans deserve as a birthright. Gravity, inertia and other forces are examples of unbreakable natural law. Voice in government, right to a fair trial and equal treatment under the law are all examples of natural laws which are unrightly deprived.
-
Also, a rather large bit of the Founders' actions don't really follow "family values". Slaves? Secret families with the aforementioned slaves? Hypocrisy? Armed insurrection?
I'm not saying they were evil men; I'm just saying that they weren't the "Christian" role model patriarchs we love to romanticize them as.

Also, I think that any sort of censorship should only be done with consent of the citizenry, and also with a great deal of ponderance over whether or not it is necessary and expedient.

Will the standards be able to be used in 0 A.D.?
Anyway, I hope that the reality of the Celtic people isn't lame. I've always liked the roman-ticized version.
Edit: Fixed some hastily made spelling errors,

Highlands, by far. I hope 0 A.D. will have some sort of map without anywater whatsoever, though. Like "Plains" in EE.

Aw. That's disappointing. I'll get over it. It is free, after all.

There are a ton of differences. And while the creators could go through the effort to make individual art for each, the civilizations are so different simply in playing.
-
According to Plato, if it does not exhort the goals of the state, it should be censored. He also wanted to ban minor (musical) scales, and the musical scales associated with drinking.
I personally think that any preaching to hate, especially the condonance of violence in order to show hate (even if it's not carried out physically), should be considered for censorship.

Oh. And the Stoics created the idea of natural law.
In response, life isn't just a game. Life is interaction with other people, hopefully effecting a change of society into something better. Stoicism and natural law are more for religious types, because they place value on virtue and duty. And for those involved in government.
-
Yes. Interesting point, but Zeno (the original Stoic philosopher) would disagree with this: Stoics do react. But not in an emotional manner. A truly stoic individual would do the right thing (his/her duty), and not allow emotions or desire to cloud his thinking.
-
I hope so. It'd be an awful lot of work to create seasons and other climatic events for no point other than some pretty effects.

AoK all the way. Having a good choice of civs rocks.

What are your thoughts about the main schools of Classical Roman Thought (Death of Aristotle - Emperor Marcus Aurelius)? I suggest you read up briefly using a few overviews of the various schools, such as Epicureanism and Stoicism. Which one do you think is most relevent, or the most correct?

Moreover, Christians are exhorted in the Epistles of Paul (don't remember which letter, exactly) to respect the government, and not to interfere with its processi. The Founding Fathers were all Christian (except for good old Frank(lin).), but they were also all afeared of the power of theocracy, because of such things as the Salem witch trial.

You can explain it as their natural rights are not being given. Perhaps the best example is the right to live, without unwarranted interference. Murder, in the criminal sense, is wrong.
