What would you say about this Civ?
Would you like if there would be a civ Gypsies. Their special unit would be camel riding Paki who can steal money from cities and make people unhappy in cities. And all cities which are close to their borders would lose 10% of their money production cause all refugees steal money from there and minus 50% to their science and shield production.

I'd say it's rascist. Gypsies are nice people with a completely different culture, and having them steal things in the game would be rascist.

They were originally from Egypt. Hence GYPsies. Though there are other versions of gypsies, such as the Irish gypies, you were Kicked off their land by Cromwell...as I understand it...and yes they are still bitter...

I thought they were originally from India and then spread through Romenia (hence "Roma", which is their proper name (at least in German)) further to Europe.

I think there should be hippies to
and their happiness would be at 100% all the time from the um side effects of the products they inhale.
but their production would only be at 50%...

Irish Gypo's, pikers, travellers whatever...rough bunch in the wrong areas in Southern Ireland like Tullamore and Athlone, the cities aren't bad, but they have their rough areas outside of the immediate town. They'd be more akin to stealing yer shirt off yer back...

They claimed to be originally from Egypt, but in all likelihood they weren't.
