IN SID MEIER’S CIVILISATION game series, world leaders are assigned personality traits, with variables for such factors as cooperation, betrayal, economic ability. In the original game, Mahatma Gandhi was the only leader whose aggression level was set to 0.
The game developers built in a mechanism whereby when a civilisation achieves democracy, its aggression level would be reduced by 1. In the case of Gandhi, this meant reducing his level to -1.
But this produced a variable overflow, resulting in his aggression being set to the highest level. In the original game, Gandhi becomes the first world leader to threaten nuclear annihilation.
