To be a legionary you had to be a citizen and for a a black african to become a citizen they would have to do so with military axillary service. It would be rare and there is almost no evidence for it. They put it in the game only to be political.

the ancient period is not a binary yes or no answer, I would say it never happened but there are always outliers. The point is marxists in the game development world will take the smallest sliver to push their ideology that blacks have always been apart of western society going back to antiquity. They do it because of marxist deconstruction of history. A black can never be a roman. A roman is a roman. A gaul is a gaul. A german is a german. Romans were race realists and recognized who people were. Blacks were mostly slaves in this period. The game is showing a legionary in charge of a garrison in Britannia. It's a complete joke.

Oh actual Atlantis, or Mu or Shangri-La , or Agartha etc.. myths are different, but they are at least predicated on shit that supposedly happened a long, long time ago. I mean, Herodotus and Plato were making up shit that happened at or talked about legends from before their times. Tataria/Tatarian Empire shit is supposed to happen in the 1800s to early 1900s, when people were actually there to remember it, photograph it etc. Its another level of stupid because its so recent and predicated on vastly misunderstanding things like

Were called Moors. They were slaves under the various dynasties of north african muslims invading and occupying southern spain, and won freedom and status by assisting the spanish during their resistance and eventual Reconquista. During the Colonial era there were a number of influential black turncoats who gained status in Europe in exchange for betraying the Ottoman Empire.

Blacks being transplanted via islamic slavery and imperial aggression against white europeans is probably not the narrative you were going for.

>>723990629
The Romans did absolutely have a conception of race, and they did care about it. Non-Italian Emperors did obviously exist, but they tended to occur towards the decline of the Empire when everything was relaxed. For most of Rome's history, they preferred to be ruled by Italians. Of the first 10 Emperors, only 1 was non-Roman.

It could work if the game is set in Caracalla's reign as he extended the citizenship to everybody, but seeing how the game takes place during or shortly after the conquest of Britbongia that would pretty much be impossible.
Even then that would be a tough job considering Rome didn't have much access to black people. Maybe some trickle through Ethiopia, Upper Egypt and trans-saharan trade routes but at that point you'd be just looking for an excuse to justify putting a black guy in there.

A great example is Septimius Severus, who was of mixed Punic and Roman descent, became emperor (without the Roman family cognomen, indicating that he wasn't even considered to be of a Roman Gens).

As for Troops, some of the Roman garrisons at Hadrian's wall were auxiliaries raised from Africa.

>in 1934 a Roman altar was found reused as a building stone in a cottage in nearly Beaumont, recording a dedication to Jupiter by Caelius Vibianus, commander of the Numerus Maurorum Aurelianorum (The Unit of Aurelian Moors), who would have been recruited from the Berber people of Mauretania, now present day Morocco and West Algeria. The altar is dated to about AD 253-8. (R G Collingwood & R P Wright, The Roman Inscriptions of Britain, Vol 1, (Oxford University Press, 1965) RIB 2042, p626).

>Some time later, maybe as much as a hundred years later, the Notitia Dignitatum, a list of all the commanding officers and regiments of the Roman Army, lists per Lineam Valli (along the line of the Wall) Praefectus Numeri Maurorum Aurelianorum, Aballava (the Prefect of the Unit of Aurelian Moors, at Aballava. (A L F Rivet & Colin Smith, The Place-Names of Roman Britain, (Cambridge University Press, 1979), p.220). By this date, the regiment would have been recruiting locally, particularly from the sons of serving soldiers married to local women
https://www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk/first-recorded-african-community-britain-background-burgh-sands

There were also numerous other auxiliaries and Roman troops from Greece, Dacia, Anatolia, Hispania, Central Europe etc. This is very basic and common knowledge about the Roman military that only an absolute plebeian (pun intended) on the topic wouldn't know.

No, I'm talking about actual Black African conquistadors, not just Moors

They were rare, but they existed, some were freemen, some were slaves that accompanied expeditions and managed to work their way from merely being porters/slaves to being actual fighters and then getting their freedom or encomiendas for their service, etc

Matthew Restall talks about them both in "7 Myths..." and in a standalone academic paper. He also mentions a few women conquistadors but IIRC(?) none of them got actual encomiendas despite serving in combat, so your call on if they count or not. Then again not all ethnically spanish, male Conquistadors people would never question getting that label got encomiendas either, but I feel like at least if you DID get a encomienda grant, it's pretty inarguable you count irrespective of other variables

>>
>>723992223
Septemius Severus ruled the Roman Empire in the 200s, over a century after Rome was at its peak, and presided over the end of the Pax Romana. As well, being auxiliaries raised from Africa does NOT in any way mean that they were sub-Sahran. As you well stated, Septemius himself was PUNIC. He was not a black man, nor were most likely the men you later referenced. This doesn't change the fact that Romans absolutely cared about race.
>>
>>723991419
Romans having a concept of race does not mean they care about Race. Romans famously adopted the cultures of other people freely, worshipped their gods, granted them citizenship and so on. They recognized the great achievements of man, instead of his innate racial or cultural properties. The titles that many Romans went be famously had deprecative meanings that played on irony (like Publius Decius Mus). The Romans obviously were more secluded during the republic because most of Italy was still composed of Social allies, and granting of citizenship to non-Romans happened much sooner than 'the late empire' when everything was 'falling apart'; it's been happening since the early empire.

>over a century after Rome was at its peak
150-200 AD is considered the peak of the Roman empire, lil bro. No need to distort history you're clueless in.

And yes, no one said Severus had black skin, that's a construction of strawman and goalpost shifting you're engaging with. The point here is that the Romans didn't care about race as much as people in here insist they do. Non-Romans became emperors of Rome, that sets a precedent that in any office below emperor any non-Roman could secure a citizenship or office, and it did indeed happen.
>>
>>723992795
That's a poor argument. Americans adopted the culture of others, would you say that we do not care about race? Romans preferred to be ruled by Italians, that is why until centuries later Italians by and large ruled Rome, and that includes the Empire as well. Again, of the first 10 Emperors only one was non-Italian. Nobody said that granting of citizenship to non-Italians didn't happen even in the earlier days of the Empire, but that doesn't mean they didn't care about race. Even a century ago there were some Mexican Americans, does that mean that Americans didn't care about race a century ago? Be serious, Romans were not a different species they were human. They cared more about people that looked like them.

Sounds good. I definitely remember Conquistador being too long too, you do an entire island and then it turns out that was just the tutorial

>>723993093
Severius is considered to be when Rome declined retard, even with the Five Good Emperors it was after Rome had reached its peak extent. The Romans absolutely did care about race, by your argument no Americans care about race today because there have been black senators and President elected.

Pretty much the entire Roman pantheon was Greek, later on other gods were incorporated that included Mithras and Isis as the other poster mentioned
Romans also supplicated the gods of cities they entered.

You're trying to tell me Marcus Aurelius and Commodus ruled during the peak of the Roman Empire? The Year of the Five Emperors was considered the peak of the Roman Empire? And you're telling other people not to distort history they're clueless in? Are you fuckin retarded bro lmfaoooo

people don't realize that this site isn't one blob. People have different levels of acceptance, but it's also true that global media are pushing an attrition campagin to manipulate people into becoming more accepting of that shit being pushed.

We are at the stage where most people are now accepting gays, but not trannies. As long as people can pretend they have boundaries, it's not hard to change their perception as long as you offer a new bogeyman.

Holy shit reading this retardation is almost insulting. Their gods had the same origin even before the concept of a roman nation came about and they were just a city. Claiming that romans were worshipping greek gods is like claiming that the catholics are worshipping greek gods because their saints share similarities with greek demigods.

That’s not entirely true.

First of all, the Roman Empire existed for a very long time, so Roman views were never truly uniform or unchanging. There are multiple sources showing Roman distaste or distrust toward other races or cultures.

For example, many Romans saw Greek influence as something negative — Greek culture was extremely influential, but it was also perceived by some as soft and decadent. Ultimately, of course, it survived and shaped Western civilization.

"Graeci subtiliter disputant, Romani viriliter agunt."
(Paraphrased from Seneca, Epistle 90)
Translation: “The Greeks argue with subtlety; the Romans act with manliness.”

"Graeca adulatio et dedecus urbis."
Tacitus, Annals 11.6
Translation: “Greek flattery — the disgrace of the city.”

"Primum deliciae peregrinae in urbem invectae sunt... tum coquorum et ministrorum greges, et alia luxuria quae mox in domos quoque privatas penetraret, contagione morbi in civitatem versa est."
Livy, Ab Urbe Condita, 39.6–8
Translation: “Foreign indulgences were first brought into the city... then came whole troops of cooks and attendants, and other forms of luxury, which soon entered private homes — the infection of the disease spread into the state.”

Europeans of the time were, of course, perceived as barbarians — the opposite side of the spectrum. While the Greeks were seen as refined but soft, the northern Europeans were viewed as tough yet primitive and barbaric.

Some sources suggest that the Romans saw themselves as the perfect blend between the two worlds: standing between the Greek and European spheres — both tough and manly, yet also clever and refined.

Ultimately my point is that they've seen race. But they were pragmatic. Take best aspects from other cultures while maitaining your own.
Pragmatism does not equal respect.

Catholics worship a Levantine Abrahamic god.

As for the Romans, they recognised that they worshiped Greek gods. Their whole culture was borrowed from the Greeks. They knew this innately and it gave them a cultural robustness and readiness to adopt stuff from other cultures.

>Interpretatio romana is comparative discourse in reference to ancient Roman religion and myth, as in the formation of a distinctive Gallo-Roman religion. Both the Romans and the Gauls reinterpreted Gallic religious traditions in relation to Roman models, particularly Imperial cult.

You missed the point.

I hate mosquitoes but not butterflies.
Mosquitoes are bugs.
I won't say I hate bugs because that would imply I hate butterflies, too.

This is the same for "political".
I have nigger fatigue.
Both adding them or keeping a game clear of them is political. (and going against the current is an even stronger political statement but that doesn't matter for that argument).
I won't say I hate games being political because that would imply I'd hate someone making the effort to keep his game clear of black people.

I can guarantee that the success or failure of this game will not be determined by the black legionaire. No one outside of /v/ will even know. Unless ubisoft does soemthing completely retarded before launch (very possible), it will probably be the most popular game in the series, or at least at launch. Whether its a success or not will br determined by how well it lives up to anno 1800, and whether or not the performance is ass.
>>
>>723997739
It's not just the black legionnaire, there are criticisms that the game has an over representation of female characters. Also there are visual choices that are bad. Bad UI and the artwork on the buildings looks like a copy paste from 1800. The demo was met with pretty negative reviews. They gave the full version of the game to streamers and youtubers 3 weeks in advance which is crazy.

to be honest, the good parts of Africa are still... basically Tunis...Egypt... maybe some of Morocco even if I do not like Moroccans... All the good parts of Africa are in the north and in a few spots close to the Mediterranean sea.
