African Union update.
Posted in: Factions
Posted 2010-11-13 at 18:25 by Hauteclocque

Hey,

I'm Hauteclocque, a 20-year-old-French man (no one is perfect I know :P) recently promoted to [R-DEV] for my work on exports (AAVP7A1, Namer, MT-LB series were my participation to v0.95).

For my first blog entry, I'd like to show you the progress done on the African Union (AU) led by [R-CON]Sgt_Doctor. :-)

We (Doctor and me) have been recently working on the African soldiers and their kits. Here are some pics I'm sure you'll like.

    awesome!
    So where are the child soldiers?
    And will there be a new, changed insurgency mode? The A.U. will have to defend villagers from inbounding ARF troops and save them from plundering, abduction, raping and genocide! But being A.U. doesnt neccesarily mean you also need to abide the law...let's just say you won't get negative points!

    lets just say i wanted to give something to think about, to keep something in mind while you have your fun, sitting at home and "playing" these factions...

    Yes, it happens in real life and I cringe over the fact it happens, but why on earth would you want to play as or against child soldiers and having the objective of killing civilians? I don't see how you could possible to justify a good reason to have it in game.

    that was meant to be ironic. In this case the alleged "belittlement" is supposed to have a shock effect to the reader - perhaps to arouse?!. In this case it worked quite well .
    You see the fact is, many players don't really reflect on what they are actually playing.
    I have quite a problem to play IDF-Hamas in PR due to the fact that it is quite a very controversial conflict. Same goes with the german Army that is fighting at the Hindukush. (defined as a defensive army as by the German Basic Law - never meant to set foot on another country again [while being armed that is] - they however got dragged into the afghanistan conflict over the NATO, a relict of the cold war with Germany as member only because of organisational reasons [strategical coordination] and the fact that the own country was a critical location of the cold war crisis)
    I know it's still just a game...but i find this trend of brainless inurement quite disturbing. Others just see the variety of weapons and factions and rejoice. I however can't avoid to see the stories behind these factions (eventhough the AU and ARF seem to be fictional, we all (hopefully) know on what scenario they are aiming at). With the simplification of a game, there is a certain danger behind it of getting a distorted picture. A famous and often heard example that makes me rage everytime: "The SS? bad guys, but they have fancy uniforms! and the Sturmgewehr 44! OMG YES!"

    From a practical standpoint having a 'Child Soldier' would be nigh impossible to code/animate/model ingame.

    YouTube - Lord of War OST - Antonio Pinto - Conscience
    The first one seems awkwardly too close to Lord of War..

    I'm sure the team members and the mappers of the faction (myself, making a 4km African Forces map) would be well aware if such scenarios were taking place within the maps and the game modes. So no - there is no secret motive to involve African civil wars and crimes against humanity as objectives. The ARF is the Militia branch of the African Forces, while the African Union is the conventional branch. It, like the MEC, is a fictional faction. Whatever wierd conspiracies you have are out of the question in terms of development.
