What ecaxtly was the point in cutting the unique gameplay mechanics for this map by removing the Skraelings? "Cultural issues"? Well, this indeed would be a ridiculous decision, since this game is about cultural warfare anyway.

"Skraeling" meaning "wretch" is what the vikings called north american natives. Companies would crawl to hell and back to avoid putting that in their 2024 video game. It's a bit silly, but it's not something they'll change their mind on anytime soon.

didn't it translate to means screamers, but ye I get what you are saying. That said sometimes cultural slang like that actually add to the game. But in this climate at the moment we'll sooner see an american civ then the return of the skraeling.

I mean, they could've just renamed them? It'd still be annoying, but moderately less so.

What bothers me the most is not that culturally-dependent slurs are taboo, it's that whether they are or are not is entirely dependent on who is slurring whom. It's not the action being done, but who is doing it.

No where is this more silly than here with the 'skraeling' debacle. Sure, it could be considered a slur, but one used 1,000 years ago by a people against another people who, if they even could still be considered to exist, are so drastically different than they were back then that they could hardly be considered the same groups at all.

But how much you wanna bet that no one in HR has any problems when a game has a Comanche refer to the Yankees as 'Pale-faces'?

Then they could have many other creative ways to handle this. By renaming them and put the "skraeling" term as part of description into the unit's compendium for example. Still better than the complete removal.

Yeah. Lame that it got removed. That's 2024 for you. Feels like 1984 (book/movie)

That's fine. I'm sure the north american natives had some pretty rough names for their ENEMIES too.

It's a shame we don't know what they were. Too bad no one could get a word in edge-wise, what with that tomahawk flying straight at their skulls the moment they stepped out of the bushes.:WH3_greasus_rofl:

I mean part of it is they removed all hostility for Gaia units
DinoMight 2024 年 9 月 22 日 上午 12:45 
i wish they created a new unique unit since they have the new engine and control over it, and name it natives and thats it, make them hostile to add to challenge to the map, nomad could also use some unique units, maybe unique structures as well for some maps... who knows what they can add
