WHEN SID MEIER launched his popular computer game series Civilization in 1991, historical world leaders were assigned an aggression value. When a society achieved a democratic government, this value dropped by one.
Gandhi is the only leader whose aggression value is set to zero. But in the game, when India achieves democratic status, Gandhi’s aggression drops to -1. This entails a variable overflow, causing his aggression to be reset to the highest value.
In the game, Gandhi becomes the first world leader to threaten you with nuclear annihilation.
