How diverse is civ6?

[Henri Christophe]

Also, why do you consider the Indians Caucasian? Just, why? Edit: Nevermind this question, move along everyone.

More specifically he probably thinks of them as an "Indo-Aryan" group of people, and well you know who popularized the term that the group of people called "Aryans" as the superior "race".

Alexander remembers well, the north of India was conquered by white caucasians called aryans, who wrote some mantras and stuff, the vedic people.
In south india still exist the Dravidian people, who also is Black and was subjugued and confined in the India's deccan.

*deep breath* Aryans are not white. Dravidians are not black. You can't just lump the world into two categories and expect everything to neatly fit.

It's just... why, bot?

Indeed.

Agreed

... Henri, you do realize that's a painting, right? Right??! You know paintings aren't always the best source of information, right??!!

No my dear Henri, they have knowledge of colors in INdia, native painting is the best source to know the Akbar color of skin.

 

[Evie]

Henri...as we discussed many times in the past (mostly involving 3Deers), the colors people used for themselves in stylized art do not reflect modern conceptions of racial skin colors. Self perception of skin color, and cultural meaning of what color is used on a painting, are not related to modern racial concepts.

Ancient Japanese art overwhelmingly portrays white skin too. They're still not white.

I mean if this is the way you think, I'm sorry but I don't think that the Civilization series is ever going to be as diverse as you want it to be.

Wait you mean the world isn't being held up by a cow on top of a fish?

Does this guy look white to you?

that not to much, a bit white. WHo is he?

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

It's Akbar!! The guy who you claim was white!!

Not to be rude to you, but come on, you can't claim he was white. By your logic, since this painting shows non-whiteness of Akbar, therefore, he wasn't white. Which is true.

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

indeed, japanese are very white.

I guess now we are erasing East Asian identity with now the Japanese being white and Akbar being white too, who honestly you even want as an alternate leader to Mongolia.
Which they weren't even "Caucasian" to begin with on your list?

 

[Zaarin]

Akbar, aryan invasor of India very very white.

...Akbar was a Turk. He had some Persian ancestry, as well, sure, but he was not Aryan. Also he lived thousands of years after the Aryan invasion of India. And neither he nor the Aryans were white.

 

[Henri Christophe]

It's Akbar!! The guy who you claim was white!!

Not to be rude to you, but come on, you can't claim he was white.

I guess Akbar want to be reminded after death as a white guy
because in india is very clear the racism, look this video.
And AKbar was the Aryan elite in India, of course Akbar is white.
Not the european white, other white, more persic white.

Okay, let's back on main topic of the tread, how diverse is civ6?
Look this Aurelesk's map.
Now Europe isn't a massive and the aglomeration of civs go around middle east.

 

[Ryansinbela]

William we got another bad map

I'd say it is diverse enough... more than any other historical based game anyway.

Better than that horrid upside-down map.

More accurately around the Balkans, as there are only four civs indisputably in the Middle East (Phoenicia, Sumer, Babylon, Persia), plus two if you count Ottomans and Byzantium. That the Balkans are overrepresented is not news.
