    Okay fine set up the trading posts but the intent still bothers me. Its being done under the pretense of improving their lives because we feel we could improve them. Again, if the pretense changes too "they are in serious danger lets start the process now" sign me up.

    If you want debate you are going to have to pick something far more emotional, or become more sensational in you're presentation Hore Tore.

    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    Haven't any of you mooks played Civilization? You move in a scout or a warrior, and you usually get some cash, a bonus tech, a free scout, a free settler or XP for your unit. Sometimes the villagers are hostile, and they spawn like eight spearmen who go ape on your unit.

    I thought a forum of Total War addicts would be on the ball when it comes to native villages ...

    I say we get in there and trade any valuables they might have for shinny pieces of glass and coca-cola!

    Maybe we should just join them and leave our modern gizmos behind?

    Dude. Leave them the hell alone. God knows I would rather have lives 35-40 years as an innocent villager than live in this psychotic world.

    Go watch some Star Trek. Then you'll get the reference.

    The fact you're on this, a forum full of geeks, and don't get Star Trek references is, quite frankly, shocking and disturbing.
