Genocide/Expulsion

**antisocialmunky** · 09-04-2009, 03:47

Will we be allowed to remove native peoples?

It wouldn't be too bad:
-You build the 'Genocide/Expel' which replacings a particular 'People' building which gives you MASSIVE penalties to growth, health, public order, trade, economics and takes a few turns to build(maybe 1 to 2 ingame years). That way you need to pile a ton of soldiers in there.

-When it completes, you get the option to bring in your people by building a settlers thing. Perhaps also spawn a large army as well when it completes to represent an organized resistence of survivors.

-Then you can finally build your people marker.

Is that accurate though? I didn't think there were that many genocides back in Antiquity. Genocide feels like a much more recent concept.

Genocide as in killing the population of an area.

The enslavery option seems to fit the bill quite nicely.

Genocide as a concept, i.e. attempting to exterminate people of a certain race didn't really appear until the 20th Century.

Besides, I'm not sure why this is needed.

Would Spartans culling Helots, Romaioi culling Everyone and Romaioktonoi pruning Barbaropolis count then?

Mmm... interesting idea, munkey. I can't think of any examples of successful, state-sponsored genocide in the ancient world off the top of my head, but I really like the idea of using the building queue in a little more abstract sense. Why limit yourself to physical structures? We can use it to represent monetary expenditure on anything. I like.

Well, we could go pure 'expel' and use this to depict one group moving in and pushing people out. THAT has definitely been done by many factions especially the mass migration groups.

How many mass migrations can you think of? (besides the obvious germans-across-the-rhine)

I'd also be curious as to whether anyone knows how successful migrations are in actually displacing the original population. Migrations are usually small relative to the native population, so it would seem difficult to replace their genome with yours in such a big pool. Anyone have any info?
