Also, In the profiles of leader for one of the empires Eren obviously doesn't look Roman/Bysantine. I hope this is a Aserai general who betrayed his country or a mercenary with an interesting backstory. To have a European based faction with black generals is incredibly immersion breaking and i hope taleworlds wouldn't do this just so some SJW WSJ journalist writes a positive review about them. Also it takes away from white peoples history. Why is it racist to not have black people in European history if they historically weren't?
First of all, Bannerlord is a fictional fantasy universe. Not real life. If Taleworlds has decided that in their universe that black people are able to be part of the empire then who are you to complain?
Secone of all, The armies being depicted in the photo are Aserai vs Romans. Not Vlandia. I have a hard time believing major trade hubs of ancient Rome, like Venice, Sicily, Spain, Southern france, and many other Roman cities , whos economy was heavily based on trade, had no important and quite notable foreing , trading population, mainly africans and arabs, with the random asian thrown in as, lets say, artisans and mainly in merchant quarters. The medieval world was way more diverse than the raging Alt Right who blame all their problems on the fault of "THE SJWS REEE".
