Hi Teresa.
I'm not sure on your correlation between killing people and rpgs, while it
happens in some it is by no means a staple of the genre.
Entombed for example has an entire dungeon of Goblins, Orcs, harpies,
centaurs, elemental magic creatures, lizard men and the like, no humans or
even demi human races such as elves and dwarves at all.
In the same way, a stratogy game like Lunimals your not actually fighting
anyone at all! just trying to build a workable biosphere and eco system on
the moon. Even in Castaways, though you have goblins and yetties attack you,
it is mainly the environment that is your enemy, with you needing to build a
settlement through various disasters like droubts or diseases, indeed I'd
love to see a pure civilization game myself with nobody to fight at all,
just the varying challenges of the environmen. Military stratogy is just one
element of stratogy games.
Then of course there is the intention factor. Even in something like King of
Dragon pass, where you command a clan of bronze age, viking style people,
though part of your life involves rading other clans for cattle, and people
might occasionally get killed, your actul goal in the game is to create
peace by good political negotiation with the other clans and eventually form
a kingdom, indeed you can play as a peaceful clan and not do any raiding at
all, (though this might upset some of your clan's warriors).
Of course everyone has different game play preferences which is fair enough,
but if your just avoiding rpgs and stratogy games since you don't like
killing humans, ---- well you might not have all the information on that
one.
All the best,
Dark.
