>But there's also a big problem. There are no people of colour in the game beyond people from the Cuman tribe, a Turkic people from the Eurasian Steppe. The question is, should there be? The game's makers say they've done years of research and found no conclusive proof there should be, but a historian I spoke to, who specialises in the area, disagrees.
>"We know of African kings in Constantinople on pilgrimage to Spain; we know of black Moors in Spain; we know of extensive travel of Jews from the courts of Cordoba and Damascus; we also know of black people in large cities in Germany," the historian, Sean Miller, tells me. Czech cities Olomouc and Prague were on the famous Silk Road which facilitated the trade of goods all over the world. If you plot a line between them, it runs directly through the area recreated in Kingdom Come. "You just can't know nobody got sick and stayed a longer time," he says. "What if a group of black Africans came through and stayed at an inn and someone got pregnant? Even one night is enough for a pregnancy."
Is this true Veeky Forums? Should this game be patched to fit in more historical accuracy?
The possibility is here, but it would break immersion and step into too improbably borderline fantasy category. The best option is to patch the game but give an option to be truly realistic (turn off black characters, whatever).

Author can't go a page before mentioning Africans knocking up Polish tavern sluts
Kayden Ross
Ima need some black african names then. Otherwise Ima have to assume the author is full of shit. Except Spain that one actually makes sense.
Lincoln Reyes
if he had a wikipedia page it'd say "born to an Ashkenazi Jew family"

What the fuck is wrong with Americans, they would be ostracized to hell for being a rampant whore or have their spawn thrown in the river. Even if this ridiculous scenario was possible in any sort of way.
Brayden Ramirez
I'm alarmed that a historian thinks that a person filled a backpack with trade goods and walked the entire length of the silk road to do business with the other end personally.
Jeremiah Evans
Slavs should tell wh*tes to fuck off(like Dugin did) to not be confused with them.
Michael Reed
Most blacks would be eunuch slaves traveling with their Muslim merchant owners anyway.
Easton Carter
I remember shit like this with the third witcher
Evan Morales
What time period is this even based on? "Medieval times" is just a little vague.
Charles Richardson
1403
Parker Ramirez
Game shows like a hundred people out of the millions Bohemia had at the time
So even if there had been a dozen of niggers in the kingdom, this wouldn't be enough of a percentage for it to make it into the game
Aaron Young
>Jamal von Nassau, can you pass the mead? Kek.
Ryan Morales
There was a black yugo soldier in new hercules Hercule Poirot, they should just select characters at random to make them black and asians it would be bizzare as fuck
Gavin Brown
I feel the same
Sad
Grayson Bennett
Lol'd, I think a "turn-off black people" button would trigger even more people.
Daniel Barnes
It should have a nigger bandid in the middle of the jungle just for trolling
Nolan Morgan
>one or two possible blacks >lol it should be full of them! >also let me mention black breeding It's like a satire
Easton Rogers
This talk about african representation in medieval times is americacentric. There are different ethnics in the game. There are Cumans for fucks sake.
James Cox
Someone should mod it in anyway just to spite them.
Aaron Sanchez

Lucas Phillips
>some literally who meme historian corrolates literally ONE case of some moor (who he memes as a black man) in spain is somehow proof that there would be a bunch of black people running around Bohemia in 1403
>literally making up some what if bullshit scenario to justify it
Ah yes, from the Mary Beard school of history. Seirously, people like this soundnt even be considered historians. They are cultural marxist ideologues who simply use history as a tool to further their own agenda. And in this case, try to lie to the kids who will play this game, but thankfully, Varva wasnt having any of this.
John Reyes
You're going to tell me that Bohemia had no abbo knights?
Fuckin racist cunts.
Logan Morgan
Who is this historian he spoke to? Did he mean a high school history teacher?
Dominic Rogers
Every game depicting east Asia before the age of imperialism should be filled with white people.
Imagine a white man staying at a Chinese tavern and impregnating every chink there.
Jack Brown
This is silk route, by the way.
Jack Howard
Uighurs are presumably descendants of whites and Chinese. Occasionally they get green/blue eyes. The Chinese features are dominant, though.
Noah Rogers
>we know of black Moors in Spain
Ah yes, the famous ginger-haired, blue-eyed black Moors of Spain.
Jose Sanders
more than likely considering a Sean Miller historian yields no results. More than likely a "cool" highschool history teacher the writer knows irl who just fed him some bullshit. Pic related is the guy who wrote the article to give you a sense of what we are dealing with here
Have to wonder why they'd do that if their audience is entirely Chinese. They COULD be Persians as those people did seem to hang around royalty in China.
Bentley Cooper

Lady of the Dynasty. On the life of Yang Guifei, concubine to the Tang Emperor and one of the 4 Great Beauties of Chinese history.
It's bad, don't watch it.
Those people are representatives of the Sassanid Nobility that fled the Muslim Caliphate's expansion there and into Tang China. Also one of the main characters is a visiting Byzantine Monk (the Narrator).

OP here. Just wanted more verification that this author is a retard. I found out interesting that this article came from a European website and not an American one. Don't ever go on /v/ so it wasn't me. Not to mention this article was published yesterday. And don't ever call me a nigger again.
Aaron Hall
Something like this is already happening, Eastern nations in EU are distancing themselves from Western Europeans.
Brandon Baker
Saint Maurice didn't live in Germany, and wasn't nobility, so I'm genuinely not sure what these posts are implying.
Cooper Gomez
He starts out okay but quickly descends into historical fantasy then goes full retard and starts talking about he's interracial fantasies. What the actual fuck lol

Ayden Sullivan
See how the black guy looks reasonably realistic and compare with how people painted lions or giraffes during the renaissance. This means he worked from a life model.
Aaron Sanders
Thanks for the pic i was wondering what the hell that historian was smoking. >Olomouc and Prague were on the famous Silk Road That dense motherfucker. How did he graduate with such an inept grasp of history.
Adrian Hernandez
Holy SHIT i’m so tired hearing about this game and the blacks.
If the historians they worked with said “probably not” then obviously that’s what they’re going to go with. FUCK OFFFFFFFFFF ALREADY FAGGOTS
Ryan Martin
He doesn't look anymore realistic than medieval paintings of lions
Logan Jackson
How do you know the artist didn't go to northern africa and not the other way around?
Juan Martin
Someone should make it for real life
Hudson Scott
Or that a black african could follow the silk road to Bohemia.
Xavier Mitchell
And drifting closer to Russia.. All according to plan.
Aaron Gray
Who is Mary Beard and why do people keep talking shit about her?
Jacob Evans

William Campbell
Okay.
James Diaz
Shes a British historian who claims there were lost of black africans in Roman Britain, because "north Africa was part of teh Roman Empire".
Connor Thomas
Mary Beard is a historian who claims there were black people in the Roman Empire
people got triggered by that.
Levi Peterson
Maurice was an Egyptian, painting him as black dates to nearly a thousand years after his death. Meanwhile, pic related is an image of him from his homeland.

The black africans could of been escaped slaves from the Umayyad Caliphate. almost had me going there for a minute.
Wyatt Hughes
Why don't black people feel insulted by this PC bullshit? It's like a whole bunch of people being treated like a kindergartener.
Kevin Peterson
>whole bunch of people being treated like a kindergartener Looks like it's working on them
Juan Powell
Black people were not always slaves in Moorish Spain, quite a lot were free men. Anyways, with this kind of reasoning you can justifie anything, why not put chinese in medieval Lybia, after all SOME could have been there somehow.
Cameron Clark
What do you mean there weren't any genderfluid polyqueer trans POC women in 15th century Bohemia? This game devs are litruhlee Nahtsees
Ryder Gutierrez
Oh shit, is she the one that supposedly btfo PJW
Ryder Morgan
This is the most infuriating shit about all of this. They even flip shit when they cast white people as historically white people if the Basketball-Americans think WE WUZ about it (see: every movie about Ancient Egypt ever made, casting white people as Hannibal in documentaries)
Zachary Fisher
I actually mind this a lot less, since they at least admit that it's a creative decision. Normally they just insist that this is how things were and you're racist if you disagree
Josiah Ward
As I said they were black people in Spain, they just were not Moors, except if you use Moor as a catch-all for any muslim living in Spain.
Easton Cooper
A reminder that the man from Nioh is a recorded english sailor who ended up in Japan. Two entirely different scenarios.
Owen Collins
Its ridiculous to us now, but the generation being raised with this shit will grow up "knowing" that Europe has always been racially diverse.
Owen Hill
It was, just not to that extent i.e. they got arabs, slavs, germans, norse, cumans, greeks, moors.
Those are all white tho. Well, there were soem black Moors I guess, but mostly they were white. That's not what I'm talking about, a nignog in that time would have been a curiosity and an exotic, but our kids are being taught that nignogs existed in all walks of life and where considered totally normal throughout Europe.
Anthony Wood
Then maybe this game's cuck of a developer shouldn't try so hard to suck wh*te dick. For fucks sake, he's a Czech and is portraying the German settlers who stole his lands for lebensraum as the good guys. His whole life he has been trying to be accepted by wh*tes, it's pathetic.
Eli Scott
>>"We know of African kings in Constantinople on pilgrimage to Spain; I really, REALLY need to know when did this happen

He means white African kings. He might even be talking about teh Vandal king who made a pilgrimage there, i forget his name.

Liam Stewart
Europe has always been native American as well.
Ian Ortiz

Lucas Rivera
>muh historical acuracy
This is just a weak excuse considering the game doesn't even pretend to be historically accurate, you can drink potions to heal wounds for Christ sake. Also it doesn't help any that the developer himself is a /pol/tard.
