  Hah, I told a (non-gamer) Indian woman about Civ's originally-accidental running gag of erratic Ghandi. She was displeased, to say the least.

    As a (gamer) Indian, I always find it nothing short of hilarious, unless Gandhi is in my game. In which case, annex India before the nuclear era.

My opinion is that this is best Civ-themed HackerNews comment ever written so far and I would gladly argument it by saying the quoting Gandhi as an ironically peaceful opinionist is very ironic indeed. ICBM.

  I'll own up now and admit that I had no idea Gandhi had history in Civ (I'm not a gamer) My quip was accidentally genius!

    There's another layer to your accidental genius. Gandhi could be very aggressive in civ due to a bug https://kotaku.com/why-gandhi-is-such-an-asshole-in-civilization-1653818245 https://kotaku.com/why-gandhi-is-such-an-asshole-in-civiliza...

At least it’s not Civ2:MGE “What do you think of...” We have decided to rid the world of your worthless civilization. Prepare for WAR! - Gandhi, every damn time

  the global peace index: peaceful, peacefuller, peacefullest, complete and utter nuclear annihilation this, at least, shouldn't be a problem in relatively civilized js.

    You can't really argue with the fact that after a complete and utter nuclear annihilation we would have total world peace.

Today I learned that Gandhi destroys the world because of an integer overflow! "In the earlier Civs, leaders are given a set of attributes that dictate their behavior. One such attribute is a number scale associated with aggressiveness. Gandhi was given the lowest number possible, a rating of 1. However, when a civilization adopted democracy, it granted a civilization -2 to opponent aggression levels. This sent Gandhi’s rating of 1 into the negative, which swung it back around to 255 — the highest possible rating available, and thus, the infamous warmonger Gandhi was born."
