the social justice bits are the worst, yes by fabio 01/16/2014, 2:31pm PST
I mentioned this before, but out of all the political issues in the game, half of them are about homosexuality, and more than half of those are trivial shit. Genocide against gays? Okay that's a priority issue. PDAs? Coming out? Jesus christ doesn't anyone do their job around here? (no, because the generals are worthless and never worth paying for)

They couldn't even come up with some fantasy themed allegory for it. So you have your slutty fantasy thief belting, "I'm a lesbian and proud!"

There isn't even any political downside to doing the right thing. Every...single...time one of your generals comes to you with an issue, you figure it's going to cause strife if you don't side with the stubborn, anti-SJW issue, but nope. If you take the morally correct side, the opposed party will later approach you gushing about how right you were and that their eyes have been opened to tolerance. If you ere on the side of pragmatism and support the intolerant party? They approach you later saying that they're having second thoughts and that you shouldn't have supported them. Was this shit made by the Gone Home team?

None of the political shit matters anyway (except the stuff that affects gold and costs). You only need enough research to unlock Juggernauts and Devastators and then you've won. Other units are a waste of time, and dragon abilities are a waste because every battle is decided before you can spawn the dragon.

They really need someone to take the concept and do it right.
