As a Black American, it saddens me to know so many cool and amazing things about European and Asian culture but barely anything about my own... other than modern wars, poverty, disease, and corruption. I know quite a bit more about African history than most Americans and that's simply because I read books, blogs, etc on my own. We are familiar with European and Asian history via video games and movies. Where are the African ones. Anyway I have thoroughly researched Western Africa. Mostly The Ashante, Benin, Malian, and Oyo kingdoms. I'm asking my long lost family in Africa to help me show the world that we have a history. We were more than just butt-naked hunter-gatherers that danced around fires with stone spears. I want to show them that we had Powerful and highly urbanized kingdoms with fortified cities and palaces guarded by armored cavalry forces who wielded steel swords, bows, crossbows, and just about anything else that could be found in medieval Europe or Asia. My biggest requests from you are pictures of authentic Benin warrior armor and attire (not plaques) and authentic Sub-Saharan sea vessels. Namely Malian ships.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH YOU AKATAS! ALWAYS CLUBBING AFRICANS TOGETHER!

why would a Benin warrior use a Malian ship and who knows, maybe ride a Soomali camel in the forests of Cameroon and do a Zulu war dance.

Because it's a video game? Why would a blonde haired, blue eyed white dude be named naruto and live in medieval japan? I know that Africa has many unique cultures.I want the world to see them all.

I love this idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Start developing ASAP please.

I'm glad you like it . Hopefully others do as well.

Culture has always been a strong platform to develop games around. But Africa. Wow, that scope is immense. Is this a serious consideration?

Yes. In the western world, Africa is like another planet. It is completely unknown except as I said before... the negative things. I wanna show the world what really did exist there and how amazing it was.
