Re: New Civ Project - INDU
Are you incorporating a modern religion into a board game largely about past mythologies? That seems insensitive to Hindus, if you care. I would ask the same thing about your Cherokee expansion, too.

Re: New Civ Project - INDU
Hi guys,
I've created separate threads for every "new civ" discussed in this thread
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/263038

Original "idea" is from Mar Hawkman and I think he was meant to point at this...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu#Who_is_a_Hindu_.3F

Quote:
Who is a Hindu ?
The actual term Hindu first occurs as an Old Persian geographical term (derived from the river Sindhu), to identify the people who lived beyond the River Indus.

Um yeah... the modern religion is a relic from a civilization that streched back to the year 2000 BC. The same is True of the Cherokee. I'm actually thinking it's more the opposite. It'd be insensitive to exclude them simply because their civilization still exists in some form.

EDIT: this is also part of the reason I proposed using "Indus" civilization as the name rather than "Hindu".
