Slavery too is a difficult issue and there are reasons for us to avoid it. How much of history should we include and to what degree? The crusades are contentious, especially given the current political climate. Kieran Brigden: This is an interesting question. Is this to avoid controversy or because it's a tricky subject to implement in terms of the game mechanics? Incidentally, I'm not actually SUGGESTING you make a game where you can profit from the slave trade. But (as far as I know) you've steered clear of the slave trade, for example.
Do you feel compelled, when dealing with historical periods, to censor inappropriate material? For instance, some friends of mine were shocked in Medieval when I showed them you could go on Crusades or wage Jihads.
