    Default Slave Trade

    Is there a slave trade? As far as I can tell there is no slave trade. This makes me sad because I wanted to be a total bastard to the natives. Though I understand why CA would remove that sort of thing.

    Too much PC for the game....I know there were people who complained that slaves were in MTW2, which I thought was lame. It was a part of history.

    no, there is no slave trade in the game since CA want to actually sell games.

    Slaves were in RTW and M2TW and you could trade them, those sold pretty well or so I've been told.
    I shouldn't have to live in a world where all the good points are horrible ones.

    There are, but they are showing in the records as ivory, to avoid taxes.

    Yes, with the over-the-top amounts of ivory generated in AFRICA, you could (eventually) change a few files around and just call them slaves.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Or change some of the nodes to slavery ones, if that will be possible. Taking it out was cowardly in my opinion, even though i'll agree it was a sensible thing for them to do to avoid law suits. It's just a victory for the white guilt crowd, who are usually American blacks, who like to make white people feel guilty about the actions of their European ancestors, which is silly and nonsensical.

    I see what you did there (and joke aside, you may well be onto something, too)
    Anything wrong ? Blame it on me. I'm the French.

    It's a pity. Slavery happened all over the world, yet now people think Slaves = Black People. Patronising or what?

    Slavery is in the game, however it is only represented on certain trade screens, it isnt a visible thing anymore. When you abolish it, expect to take a economical drop.

    I don't think having slaves in the game will impact their sales; bugs, however will.

    I know you can abolish slavery when you get near the bottom of the social research but apparently it only gives you prestige.

    You were mostly enslaving white people in those games, and political correctness is never an issue regarding the slavery of white people, only blacks.
