Adept, I've decided that's one of the main reasons I play Dominions-the violence isn't real, doesn't look real, doesn't feel particularly real. I wouldn't want it to. That's one reason I'm so satisfied with the graphics being in the state that they are, and why I don't really want a "unit collapses in a bloody heap" sprite added to the two we have.

My dad lived through the A-bomb scare, and it sucked for him, and he lost one of his best friends in the Vietnam war. His dad lived through two major wars, and it sucked for him even more.

Aside from any opposition to violence, I feel that atomic bombs are truly the weapons of a coward. Yes, using them in WW2 might have saved American lives-it might have saved my grandfather's life, for one-but to do it in such an awful way puts a stain on it that's very hard to wash away.

You can call Dominions violence "cartoonish", relating it to a child. I don't, because I personally feel that graphic violence is the entertainment of an immature mind.
