    One could propose killing off or incarcerating all teenagers to accomplish the same thing. That wouldn't actually be too far from Stalin's approach.

    Stalin was an absolute tyrant. His was a system all about maintaining control for STALIN, not for the people. Stalinism is the best description. He killed and incarcerated many of the USSR's best and brightest, because they were a threat to HIM, not ot the state.

    He killed off tens of millions in purges and made the USSR incredibly weak militarily by purging the officer corps. He created the conditions that allowed Russia to be overrun by the Nazis, even though that wasn't his intent.

    Rome Total War, it's not a game, it's a do-it-yourself project.
