But if you include 18 civilizations in a game including Mali (a great civilization, isn't it ?), but plan to include Turks in expansion packs in a future time, then that is racism, then this is the Crusader mentality in front of a monitor, then this is a "Barbarian Turks Out!" neo-Nazi manifest.

Yes there are 18 civs in Civilization IV game but Turks are excluded.. Point out my kind regards to fascist Sid Meier who can create a simulation civilization with vast dynasty and civilization of Malians and omitting the Turks who have never shown a sign of civilized nation..

I wonder if there is an Armenian Genocide option in Game Preferences..
Calm down.

Yes, they include 18 civilizations in the game, including the ‘newcomer’ Mali. And, I am fairly certain that it is not a vile racist agenda. They’re most likely just including something new, instead of all the usual suspects, while of course keeping the civilizations of their core audience.

However, I noted that while you criticise them for omitting the Turks, you ridicule the civilization of Mali. Why are they less worthy of being included?
