    While, despite that, they still have non-white avatars and no apparent gender inequality, I'm guessing they made a few exceptions but didn't cover every contingency.
    Cities also weren't able to magically teleport across states in medieval Europe but they still do in Evony. So having in-game avatars of ethnicities that were a minority in Europe wouldn't be much of a stretch would it?

    There's a different between game theme and game playability. The inability to teleport cities, the need to find actual space to store millions of troops or billions of food/stone/etc., the need to take months or years to construct buildings, or weeks for scout reports, the fact that food can go bad or become diseased, the fact that barbarian cities should be reduced to ruins instead of being perpetual food farms, etc. etc. to reflect realism, would greatly inhibit playability.

    Avatars are purely cosmetic value and have no effect on the game. Therefore I imagine, when putting together a game with a theme faithful to medieval Europe yet still with interactive game mechanics, pretty pictures were very low on Evony's priority list compared to other things (IE; the ability to move cities).
    It's all Rodri's fault.

    C'mon guys, the proud Nubian Queen was just wearing a helmet on avatar picture day.

    Yeah, I knew that, it's why I tried to convey my semi-seriousness with a smiley at the end of the my point. They could still include the ethnically diverse avatars in my opinion. It's not like the players are going to care that Evony didn't strictly adhere to its medieval theme. They care more about having their own race included than keeping it historically accurate.

    We prefer to be called little people or ethnically challenged.

    lmfao

    but on another note, the mongols were rampaging around that time, so were others I don't know of I'm sure lol

    would be a friggin headache for evony to resolve hate attacks claims if they did introduce multi-coloured avatars in game tho.. plenty of dikheads around.

    Back on topic...



    I've known quite a few black people in the past, and for the most part they don't really give a rat's rear end about the fact that I have a different color skin than they do when it comes to even having a good chat with them.

    It's what's on the inside that counts.

    There is always going to be the pea-brain that's going to have this pathological urge to crash the party for the smallest reasons. I don't see why those few should stop Evony from adding more variety to their avatar list...

    Heck, even if they added Martians and other weird things as avatars, at least it would be something out of the ordinary options that have been around for not quite two years...

    more avatars
    more diverse races for both the male and female choices

    that's what is being asked for.
    if a person wants a nubian princess or a mongol king the choices are just not there

    what would it take really?

    now to the reality check, how many players do you know that still have the default?
    because i know heaps
    blessed are the geeks: for they shall inherit the earth
