Slave Trade

[Belid Hagen]

no, there is no slave trade in the game since CA want to actually sell games.

Slaves were in RTW and M2TW and you could trade them, those sold pretty well or so I've been told.

There are, but they are showing in the records as ivory, to avoid taxes.

Yes, with the over-the-top amounts of ivory generated in AFRICA, you could (eventually) change a few files around and just call them slaves.

Or change some of the nodes to slavery ones, if that will be possible. Taking it out was cowardly in my opinion, even though i'll agree it was a sensible thing for them to do to avoid law suits. It's just a victory for the white guilt crowd, who are usually American blacks, who like to make white people feel guilty about the actions of their European ancestors, which is silly and nonsensical.

Hopefully we can mod in the slave trade and those slave trading kingdoms. Not sure how they'll do it in future mods that inevitably will expand Africa since 'slave plantations' don't make sense to model the West African Kingdoms enslaving each other. Maybe making slaver camps an option instead.

I see what you did there (and joke aside, you may well be onto something, too)

It's a pity. Slavery happened all over the world, yet now people think Slaves = Black People. Patronising or what?

[antisocialmunky]

No one else makes a racket about it that much anymore:-p.

Slavery is in the game, however it is only represented on certain trade screens, it isnt a visible thing anymore. When you abolish it, expect to take a economical drop.

wow
either you guys are totally ignorant or i dont even have the words

i suggest you read up on what slavery was like and what the slaves had to suffer. if you cant read watch Roots, Amistad etc

it may be somehitng that did happen in history that doesnt mean it need to be included in a game. what next ... concentration camps in world war 2 games??????

So exterminating a 100.000 population city with the Mongols with nica sounds to add to the experience is OK to have in a game but slavery isn't?
The only reason it's not in is PC, and that just isn't right imho.

I don't think having slaves in the game will impact their sales; bugs, however will.

[ZombieFriedNuts]

I know you can abolish slavery when you get near the bottom of the social research but apparently it only gives you prestige.
