Racism in Civ 3.
I started this topic as a joke, i was going to point out that the only black units in civ here settlers and (debatable) chariots, but as i wrote the title i had a better idea.

with the OLD reputation in mind, would it be possible for a group of people to HATE another grtoup of people?

could there be happiness problems with diffrent cultures which yours finds appauling?

This could be a good idea if implemented right. Although if not implemented correctly, it could turn into just more micromanagement.

THis idea could fit under my old idea of crime. Look up my old CRIME thread.

I think group hating is a mechanic that is, in a way, built into culture ratings. Two people of high culture who are allies LOVE each other, two people of high culture who are enemies HATE each other. Two people of low culture don't think much either way, either way. When high-culture cities are taken, they chafe under new rulers. When low-culture cities are taken, they don't much care and as they grow in culture they come to accept the conquerors as the greater rulers. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it seems kind of downplayed, but built into culture.

Sure, you could do a lot more with that, but that makes you wonder if it would be a game anymore, or a semi-interactive movie? As the game ideas become more complex, the fun is lost. A lot of simple but powerful ideas done right like culture seems to be turning out is a lot better than a single complex and powerful but narrowly-focused idea.
