Oh noes!
There's a big difference between Euro-centric and racist.
Euro-centric: More options are available to European powers
Racist: White people automagically always fight better than brown ones.
If you check Mexican history, you'll find a mixed record of successes and failures in battle against a number of colonial powers. The United States, although it was on several occasions victorious against Mexico, is itself possessed of a similarly mixed record in fighting against European powers -- unless you happen to think that the War of 1812 was an unmitigated success!
It is far more sensible to explain the Mexican defeat in the 1830s as the result of the chronic coups, corruption and general instability that had brought Santa Anna, himself no mean leader, to the fore. All of which can and is modeled without hardcoding in a 'brown people fight worse' modifier.
no body did. he was just implying on the idea of putting unchangeable penalties to the Mexican soldiers.
too many confusions in this thread already. lets try to keep the thread back on track for the sake of this game.
nice to see how the game will look like when playing.
Do we get another one?
Please?

Get it through your head: he's not calling the devs racist, he's calling you and everyone else who thinks non-white people should have hard-coded combat penalties racist.
Me. Someone said that some nations (non-white nations) should be hard coded to be worse at fighting than white nations, and I disagreed, therefore I'm racist.
I read 'Mexican troops had lower morale in the Texas War for Independence' not 'give darkies penalties for being teh inferior'.
What Earl said.
Where on darwins green planet of theory did the damn word racist come into this at all. Someone bought up a point about the mexicans being worse off in the war against texas (And they were but not because they were mexican).
One of the biggest dislikes i have are people who attempt to jump on white knights because they think/feel/view with there own opnion that someone or something was trying to be racist when they were far from it.
I vote for compulsary education of all minors.
I think we would have to identify precisely why to get a good simulation. IMO the Texans were really lucky to have won that one. They should lose 90% of the time.
What in the devil....
Johan puts up a nice little mini-AAR just to give you all some eyecandy, and now we've got people calling each other racists?
Really, just sad.
