nasty . either they don't know how bad this meaning really is or they have a very strange humor or worst case they are nazis

an explantion for the people who don't understand german / or have no historic knowlegde of 1933-1945 .
tuna-fish meant that hitler himself called him führer .
but if i remember right there was also SS-ranks like sturmgruppenführer , obersturmgruppenführer ...

so a really really stupid and bad choice for naming a hero .
if illwinter really has developed that mod themselves cause the description "This mod replaces Ulm with the Hoburg Alliance. It is mainly an example of how modding works. Feel free to modify this mod" suggests this they should remove this hero immediately because it is nothing but total crude .

First - the Hoburg mod makes Hoburgs into a human playable nation. Even without the mod, you should have noticed that hoburg provinces show up. And occasionally this 'oberfuhrer'.

Second - if 'fuhrer' is simply the German word for leader, it's stupid to say "oh, we need to ban it!". By your logic, you shouldn't have said the word 'hitler'. And we shouldn't ever use the word 'president', because that's what Bush has declared himself to be.

Oh, and the "Iron Pigs" spell has to be changed, because some people have been called pigs and are bothered by the word.

Then, Dominions2 should be Banned, because there's a lot of people (Christian, Muslem, Jewish, etc) who would take great offense at a game in which people have the goal of becoming God. Hell, I've seen people attempt to ban Dungeons and Dragons, both because there were devils in it, and because there was witchcraft (spells), and because there was idolatry (characters worshiping deities).

Yes, what Hitler did was horrible. But no more so than what Stalin did, or Pol Pot, or the government of the USA in the 1800s.

If a word offends you - deal with it.

And consider it the opportunity to kill the Oberfuhrer if you ever run across it in the game.
