So after not beeing able to sleep for 3 hours I come back to 17 pages of this, lol.
Yeah I saw you post that like a dozen times and imsomnia was keeping me awake anyway so I have taken a looksy. They had no significant presence in EUROPE. Which is what people are getting at. Noone is denying (I think) that Africa dident have big and influencual empires. On Africa they were inmense powerhouses. They werent however influencual in Europe.
And seeing as Calradia is a representation of major factions from Europe's history where they are all co-excisting they kinda dont belong to the list of factions that are present. Noone is saying that someting akin to Africa cant be a faction in Calradia, they are just pointing out that it would be misplaced. As well as the other fact that they arent in the game yet so are unlikely to get added now.
@Charlemagne sucks to hear about your history classes mate. I can appreciate that you want to see some representation when you explain it. But the problem with our global society nowadays is that some words get....stained. Representation is one of those words because it gets co-opted by people to further their agenda. Thats why people call you an SJW. They see certain words beeing used and probably got into 1 to many bad arguments with people that they dident like.
Im all for the inclusion of more factions but as DLC, adding factions now would be to much of a distraction for the dev team. Lets see them make Bannerlord an amazing game and then modders or future DLC can build ontop of that!
