Actually, I think even with the caveman example there are some politics involved. There has to be some sort of government if they formed clans! :p
I had thought of that, but decided to simplify the statement for the benefit of my point. Most cavemen clans would probably be a broader family unit than anything else, and would thus take advantage of a somewhat natural hierarchy. While conflicts among cavemen may have been political in nature, I would tend to think that they were driven more so by base instincts. This would include survival, whether it be by defending said carcass, or attacking a neighboring clan and seizing their carcass. While the acquisition of "wealth" is still present, it probably could not be called out as greed or envy.
Actually, I don't see why everyone's tired of World War II. I mean, you'd think people would be tired of bald space marines by now but nooo, they just keep pumping them out.
But since Infinity Ward did CODIV, you think that these two teams (TreyArch and IW) are leapfrogging with the games? One does one year then the other does the next year? Aren't there rumors that a call of duty will be going into SPACE in fact? Then people can get their Bald Space marines and their World War II games from a single franchise!
There are far more things one could do with space marines, for one. You could have anything from Alien(s) to Doom. The possible settings are simply far broader than any oversimplified WWII theater. I don't think they should necessarily be bald however. Bald is a pretty grodie look, after all. How about growing some hair, guys? I mean, really. Geez. I would, however, totally go for Call of Duty: Rasczak's Roughnecks! I'd have to get it for the PC though, as I am still far from sold on the idea of a console FPS, even though you'd think the Wii would work great for such...
