find a mod set in africa. Black people in Europe pre ww2 has been exaggerated and peddled  by a few black nationalists and liberals to give the impression diversity was always here. Not to meniton that the 'blackamoors' were expelled (probably not even 'black')by Elizabeth.

Amen.
Nationalism is the simple and natural belief, that all good political ideologies must possess as a premise a desire to  preserve a tangible people bound together by culture, heritage and a shared ancestry. It can not be understood via a particular formula or probed from the outside, but must be experienced first hand as with love or any other potent emotion. Through the nation-state all diversity, progress and security is derived.

I'm not going to argue facts, but what I am going to say is LOL at find a mod set in Africa. Really?

I'm going to assume that was a joke. Most of the mods here are European, medieval/ medieval fantasy/roman empire/Napoleonic wank. Really Prohpesy of Pendor is the only mod I know I can play a dark character in, but really all I'm looking for is the option at character creation. You know what I found when I googled africa in the search bar? A racist joke about terrorists. But whatever. That's beside the point. I'm just trying to find a way to move the skins from native to Brytenwalda without screwing with any of the code. Or something like that. Really I've never done this before so I'm hoping someone might be able to help.

I have like three characters invested in this mod already, but I thought it'd be cool if could be chocolate in my next playthrough. Not a big deal right? I don't think so.

I want to play as a green character myself, but each to his own.

How you guys managed to turn a thread about guy asking how to play a character that looked like him into a pulpit for your fringe theories regarding black nationalism and historiography is completely beyond me. Why do you even care what he does with his game?

I put a Greek hoplite helmet in my game's inventory so I can wear it in battle. This is historically impossible, or very unlikely. Are you going to pile on me too?

It feels very much like you're using the excuse of historical accuracy to push some strange ideas that have nothing to do with the question the OP asked. He's explicitly stated that he doesn't care if black people were present in Dark Ages Britain, and that he just wants to play as somebody that looks like him. It's understandable that the devs didn't put a black skin option in, and it's understandable that the OP would like one for his own reasons.

It's nothing to throw a hissy fit about, and if you want to throw around theories relating to "black nationalism" and "liberals", go put on your tin foil hats and start your own thread somewhere else.

OP: I'll try moving the skin across tonight and see if I can get it to work. if I can, I'll write a quick guide for you

i agree with the above.

Some of the responses are borderline racist. Black is a colour of man, green is not.

I think dark skin should be added. Even if we have to break a bit of historical accuracy, this is one time when I feel it is justified. If there was but one black skinned man in all of dark age Britain, he should be able to play as him   =)

Only problem i foresee is if theres code thats randomly choosing skin colours for troops, which may spawn a disproportionate number of dark skinned characters and may look out of place. Otherwise, why not.
