systems Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Hi all, I've been playing for a while now and have about 15 troops (no casualties). Every single one of them is white (about 10 male, 5 female). Is everyone in this game white? Or do you only get black troops when you start the game in Africa (I began in Europe). It just looks a bit odd to me - I'd rather have a mix of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezaf Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I didn't encounter a single black guy or girl throughout the whole game.A few indians, some arabs, but no black people.______rezaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I did have a black guy, Blackeye, but I let him die since he suck at several important stats. (NOTHING against black people, it was just that crappy guy!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systems Posted October 13, 2003 Author Share Posted October 13, 2003 At least there is one black guy then - I'll start a new game in Africa and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I haven't come across a single one yet... It's like on television though - no program is complete without at least (or in most cases at most) on token cultural minority figure. Had a couple of Indian people though...

Sleepy Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I've a couple in my current squad plus I've lost at least one in action. Ive also got a chinese lady and a couple of middle eastern origin. In fact I've a distinct lack of blondes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Because blondes are too stupid to sign up to the CoE and fight for their existence (boom-boom). I apologise for that very blondist joke, but I thought I'd get it out of the way before someone else did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologise for that very blondist joke, but I thought I'd get it out of the way before someone else did Yeah,they read CoE and all ended up joining the Church of England. Maybe there's a whole team of blonds praying for victory. If any blond ready this, I'm sorry, it's not your fault your blond. As far as multiculturalism goes,well, I have blacks, whites, and shades of Greys. (greys, as in the aliens, d'ya see what I did there, hah, I crack myself up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raion Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I got one black in my easy game, been there almost since the beginning, and he is about the best shooter, and all around soldier. I got two ladies, and one is a blond, and she will cut you to ribbons, from a 1000 yards out, so to say. They are dangerous, and my best soldiers. She is now even Level 8, and Malcolm, and Michael, are close to level 8, while Margaret is gaining also. My two ladies will cut down any alien even near them, and perhaps, a few men on this Planet also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSuperman Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I named the first black guy i got Cleaver, after Eldrige Cleaver I turn the gamma up, and I notice that the black guys look real white with the gamma turned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegfried Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Im still trying to get a brit in my partey and a german without a lisp (oh well the review said dodgy accents applenty) I have two black people in my party armed with grenade launchers :sly: tend to come in useful except in bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbacringo Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 black people are always the first ones to die in scary movies. UFO AF has a scary theme. I think there's less black people because the developers knew that the aliens would target them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incarnadine Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 No Polish either. What's your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbacringo Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I didn't know polish people looked different from other white people. How do you know that one of them skinheads isn't polish? Or Danish? mmm... danish... <drool>Danish</drool> How do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incarnadine Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 names accents and nationality.the only invisible minority in the game are Canaks. Other then that there are no ***mans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Well, those bad Indian accents could just as easily be bad Welsh accents, if you change the callsigns to something that sounds Welsh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incarnadine Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 yes and if you reduce the gamma settings everyone will look black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boks Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 So that's why there are no white blokes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 If you have fun with magnets (on someone else's monitor!), Malcolm ends up looking seasick and Brian turns a charming shade of puce. Seriously though, I think it is a little unrealistic when there is no coorelation between the accent/skin colour of a new recruit and the regions you control, such as when you start a new game in Asia and you get nothing but Americans.

sigget Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Does that really happen? I was under the impression that you got recruits depending on what bases you control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbacringo Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 OMFG, did you just infer that Americans look or talk a certain way? Dude, have you no idea what mass immigration does to a country? Yea, maybe you thinking of Malcom. He's redneck all the way. Trogdor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Burninating all the peasants, burninating all the people. Trogdor!!! No seriously, you cannot stereotype Americans into just 1 type. You need at least 4 stereotypes for each skin color here, otherwise you're not properly prepared. Also, Canucks are an inferior "race" <laff>haha</laff> compared to their southern neighbors der Americanos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
