Back to whitewashing are we?
Now, lets take a look at Ancient Indian leaders appearing in two games, the Mauryans.
Ashoka in Civilisation IV:

Not the best, but tolerable, I guess. Darius I looks similar in the same game.
And then...
Chandragupta Maurya in Civilisation VI:

Why is he so fucking dark?
I am pretty sure he should be of the same skin colour as Cyrus I or other Persian leaders.
@Deleted User I am curious, what do you think about this? I'm pretty sure the Mauryans didn't look like this, you seem to be knowledgable on that.
I believe they're from the original Indo-Iranian stock, so they should look closer to how Persians/Iranians were potrayed in the same games.
It's really weird they did that to Cleopatra VII in the console spin-off game Civilisation Revolution too, most of the other Coptic Egyptian leaders and Ptolemies were depicted correctly. Even Punics/Carthaginians.
(I wonder if they added Hannibal to that game, if they'd make him like Cleopatra lmao.)
@National Trotskyist Well people can get pretty tan that far south but Civ is a joke when it comes to accuracy
they gave Oriental East Asian architecture to India before
and European to Native Americans, Africans, and Middle Easterners
I think EU4 is best
plus they called St. Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin
Civ is really overdone and full of inacuracies
and mixed up the Apostolic Palace with St Peter's Basilica
yeah, but its nice for a fast easy game
EU4 is so complicated and time intensive
there is a lot right in Civ too
Played cbro
you can't play anything other than this, sorry
