    And you're very much correct. Though there's a political agenda too. Except for conquering the world and relaunching the Spice Girls, we also want to inform people about history and to show why it's important to use criticism when dealing with history and ideas, theories, commonly accepted truths,...as well. Lastly don't judge another culture using the moral and other values of your own.

    Now of you go read to read some more history. You agreed to do that remember? That and buy a spice girls records. You like the spice girls. You like the Spicegilrs' songs. Spice girls.


    Spice girls...

    I'm amazed to learn from EB that they started the spice route

    why is that?
    Gott mit dir, dem Bayernvolke,
    Daß wir unsrer Väter wert,
    fest in Eintracht und in Friede
    bauen unseres Glückes Herd;
    Daß der Freund da Hilfe finde,
    Wehrhaft uns der Gegner schau,
    Wo die Rauten-Banner wehen,
    Unsre Farben – Weiß und Blau!

    Um, excuse me, but that's nonsense. At least the way it's phrased. Moral relativism is an ideology and not scientific at all.

    Seeing our current western society and it's culture as a natural evolution and goal for other cultures isn't that scientific either. Also source cirticism is an ideology in a way as well, an ideology sciece supports. Are ideologies on themselves necessarily a bad? Is EB scientific?

    Moros, I don't see what judging of ancient cultures has to do in any respect with what we're doing in EB. I think the first part hit the nail on the head though: many ancient cultures are judged or circumscribed in various ways to avoid judgment; we want to attempt to show them as they were.

    A little clarification : Arsenal of democracy is not a traditional game mod. The team that developed it had access to the Hearts of Iron 2 source code and worked directly on that. They also signed an agreement with Paradox about distribution of the game and non-disclosure ...
