How much diversity should we expect for Africa? Will most African kings be decked out just like early Mansa Musa, with the Muslims getting Musa’s new fit?
@SaintDaveUK may be willing to talk more about how the system works (maybe in the future, when the 3D models are even more polished?), but this is a good example of how we can adjust clothing through the script of the game; as in the first screenshot, Mansa Musa was using the 'Sub-Saharan African' character and clothing models, while in the second, we're mixing the 'Sub-Saharan African' character model with the 'Middle Eastern' clothing model (which we use for Muslim characters, something that works very well to differentiate culture and religion at a glance in the Sahel or India). The crown of the ruler might also be different from being an Emperor or a King, etc.

Each rulers outfit is tiered roughly by country rank. Mansa Musa is wearing emperor rank in both of those screenshots and I don't think there's many other emperors in Africa. We are also trialling middle eastern clothes on all Muslims, it feels like it makes a lot of sense when we see it play out in India and Africa but open to feedback.
