Then what? Hiroshima? Nagasaki? Cowardly surprise attack?
Regardless, it is all tragic in the end.
The A-bomb had such a mass effect on the geo-political map that it turned most leaders in the world into diplomats.
But you don't see this in Civ 5. ^_^ Ghandi doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥.
What do you think was brilliant about it?
I understand your points, and can agree on most. However, I believe the fact that it was unexpected is what makes it a surprise attack. What I am asking is what makes it a "brilliant" surprise attack. The word "brilliant" expresses that it was of exceptional intelligence, skill, or talent, etc. I do not believe it took a whole lof of any of those things to think, "hey, we aren't at war with America... I know! Let's bomb their horbor while they aren't looking!". Seems more like an "average surprise attack" at best, or, like I originally said, a "cowardly surprise attack", seeing as how the generally accepted and more honorable idea of warfare involves only launching surprise attacks on people who you are currently at war with (e.g. D-Day is a good example of this, I would say).
Likewise, I can agree on some of what you say as well. It also comes down to individual interpretations of the wording too. Using the word honour in warfare is a very dangerous ground, and probably not in the scope for discussion on a gaming forum... especially for Civilization :)
"Brilliant" can be used to describe a tactical strategy, indicating what is a good move - taken from the point of view of the aggressor - I am sure the Japanese thought their move was brilliant when they executed the plan. It certainly doesn't mean it's a good (in the literal sense of the word) thing that happened.
Again, I don't think the developers meant any offence... I know some games do attempt to make political statements, but Civilization was never a platform for this. If anything, it is complete neutrality, injecting a little humour into characters based on real life.
You realise that what they say is from an analystic point of view correct, from a moral point of view (depending on what side of the fence you are on) perhaps not.
I think your patriotism is clouding your judgement here.
By your logic every surprise attack is cowardly, because it always involves victims, who are not aware of it.
What is an honorable surpise attack? One, where so set up signs with "Careful, ambush ahead"?
A little out of character given the historical nature of WWII avoidance and neutrality within this game series (i.e Germany and the lack of H).
However, it did make me think of this..... so BRILLIANT !
