This troll post is going around /v/. I'm spreading it here, because I'm a part of the problem.

Been saying since this game first got revealed that there was very real possibility of the existence of African/Arab traders/travelers in this game, especially with Kuttenberg being the wealthy trade hub that it was. As long as the game gives proper context and justification, this is fine.

I know gypsies were in, but I am surprised to see a guy from actual africa. Never heard of Mansa Musa and empire of Mali, does it make any sense that trader from there would find himself around Kuttenberg?

There is no reason not to. Since there was active diplomatic and commercial activity between Europe and China in the 14th Century it would make sense rich African empires would be around too.

Sub-Saharans were known to cross the desert to make contact with Europeans looking to open trade routes. With how wealthy and important to the nobility Kuttenberg was, it would not be out of the question to see some African traders travel there.

For reference, here's a map of Mali in 1337, basically at the height of their power. By the time of KCD, they would be on the decline.

I'm personally not against "diversity" that's historically accurate, however it seems to me that they basically included the closest black people they could find. Because while there would've been people from Northern Africa and the Middle East in Eastern Europe, they're not black.

Considering that there was criticism against KCD specifically not having black people -- and Vavra famously stated that there weren't any black people in Bohemia -- I have to say I find this quite suspicious. In fact, the Twitter post Vavra responded to referenced the Moors, who weren't actually black but were north of Mali and thus closer to Europe. Did the historians that Warhorse works with discover some new documents about feminist black Muslim scholars chilling in Bohemia?

I'll sound like I'm coping, but I think this is fake - at the very least, the subtitles.
