Data Files Show Bias

June 18, 2008 8:05:54 AM from PoliticalMachine ForumsPoliticalMachine Forums
Playing as Lord Kona in the 1860 scenario I noticed something was wrong. I checked the GalCiv wiki and noticed that the Drengin have the following traits:

    * Weapons: +20
    * Morale: +25 (inherent bonus)
    * Military production: +20
    * Research: +10
    * Hitpoints: +10
    * Soldiering: +20
    * Logistics: +7 (inherent bonus,not removable)

Immediatly I searched through The Political Machine 2008's data files to see if these traits were applied to Lord Kona. Guess what? They weren't! Sure the Republicans got the +20 Military production and the Democrats had +10 Research. But the Drengin had nothing. How can I advocate Slave Pits to the North in 1860 without +20 Soldiering? This game is so biased towards humans. I can only hope you can mod in Death Furnaces or I am NOT playing this game again.

I've also noticed a clear bias towards players who play the game well. Appalling elitism!
