Yeah... imagine the guys at CA now realising how their concept of making the game a challenging experience turns into a "genocide is fun AND profitable" discovery among the teen-agers... AFAIK, it's the first game I play where exterminating whole cities is a great way of solving the economical problem. Romans completely destroyed Carthage, yes, but never assasinated whole populations. Gengis Khan is the one famous for that way of chasing boredom away...
