    The thing about Stalin in Civilization IV, aside from the typical liberal summary in the Civilopedia (barring the surprising mention of the proposed antifa pact with Britain and France), is that his A.I. is set to be belligerent and invasive for no good reason.

    I can only assume that the devs had a grossly oversimplified view of the assaults on Finland or the Baltics, because otherwise it is not only annoying, it doesn’t even make sense. Stalin wasn’t an adventurer‐conqueror like Augustus Caesar or Napoleon Bonaparte.
