How culturally insensitive some people are. Now I am not normally this sensitive but the premise of this game is incredibly racist and ignorant. The Conquistadors or Conquistadores where the scum of Spain shipped off to the New World to literaly ♥♥♥♥ and pillage without any consideration for human life. Read about Pizarro and Cortes and what they did to the native tribes of Central and South America, they treated them as sub-humans. These scum of the earth wiped out centuries of culture with disease and warfare for gold to cart back to the disgustingly corrupt Spanish monarchy.

Making a game like this is similar to making a game where you can be an early settler in the U.S and you are either allowed to "make diplomatic ties OR crush the pagan Apache!" Yes crush the native american tribes, I am pretty sure that game wouldnt go down well in the states these days.

I've thought about that for years. You're a part of some fringe group, they'll protect you and your objective is to kill as many of their enemies as you can.
* You're a Nazi skinhead, you get to kill Jews (the ones wearing a Star of David) entering a synagogue.
* You're a White Supremacist, you get to kill Negros entering fried chicken stores.
* You're a cop killer, you get to shoot uniformed police entering the station.
* You're a Croat, you get to shoot Muslims entering the mosque.
* You're a protestant in Ireland during "The Troubles," you get to shoot Catholics entering their church.
* You're a black militant, you get to shoot whites going to, well, someplace, I'll figure what later.
And if there's any other group I haven't insulted it's just because I haven't thought of it.

Or maybe make a game where you can be a Nazi and crush some jews if they dont comply.

Bonus sections!
* Nazi Skinheads: Let's not forget pushing Jews into ovens or bashing them over the head to knock them into rendering pots for making soap, skin strippers to make lampshades. Double points if they aren't knocked cold and are still conscious when dumped into the boiling acid or the spinning knives. The sections on throwing Jews into ovens can have the really tasteless pun title, "Let's go fry a Kike."
* Or you can be Tyler Durden making soap from fat women.
* Conquistadors get to rape the women and steal the gold in the Incas.
* White supremacists can optionally rape the black women and grab black men on their way to watermellon patches for castration and lynching[1].

Never mind, you always get to rape the women in the bonus sections. Extra points for raping them so painfully they cry out with screams of agony. Double points, on the other hand, if you make them like it so much they turn on their own people and become killers themselves!

Again, I've never posted like this about a game, but being originally from Peru and knowing a little about what the conquistadores did to the Americas I find this game incredibly insensitive and I hope you dont support it.

I'll support anything if I thought I could make money off of it. I'd encourage people to show how much they hate the game by buying copies to burn them, I'd even offer volume discounts and publicize the events. I'd be happy to appear at congressional hearings to ban this sort of thing, because it's been said there's no such thing as bad publicity, the only thing that's bad is if they spell your website's name wrong.

The Jews, Africans and the North American Indian tribes weren't the only people that suffered under the hands of ignorant Europeans.

Yeah, lots more Europeans suffered under their hands too, both the ignorant and non-ignorant.

^[1]. There's an excellent YouTube video from Stone Manufacturing and Supply Company on how to use their Henderson Equine Castration Tool showing its use on horses for quick castration into geldings, it clamps onto the ballsac and you use a hand drill to spin the tool and fracture the cord to the testicles, it's really graphic and having something similar might be useful. On the other hand, Stone's castration tool was to make castration of horses more humane and less painful to the horse, this might not be cruel enough.
