    ._. I don't see how enslaving a settlement's a selffish thing to do...it decreases the liklihood of unrest and rebellion, thus less bloodshed in the region in the long run....

    It's expedient, and it imposes the will of the victor over the helpess inhabitants. It may not be a dictionary definition of 'selfish', but it's certainly not selfless!

    We're taking you to toil in our salt mines until you die. It's for your own good, of course. We'd have to kill you in other ways if we didn't.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

    See, that's what I mean. Every person feels at least a little bad when he commits mass executions and slaughter. Even if it isn't visible, it leaves a deep mark on one's personality. Somewhat like karma, if you like.
