Here is just the intro to the animation which will be uploaded later tonight. This animation is based pre-colonial Africa. I'm not talking about the primal, tribal, primitive pre-colonial Africa that we see on TV. This animation will revolve around the powerful medieval and pre-colonial kingdoms and empires (primarily West Africa) including the Benin, Nri, Oyo, Asante, and more! It will be a recurring series encompassing many different cultures, historical events and heavy emphasis on Yoruba mythology. If you are interested, please show your support by subscribing. Thanks!

This is actually awesome.

A few things I noticed from the map there: You placed Ketu and Oyo on the east of Benin (Ubini). They are actually west and northwest of Benin respectively. Timbuktu is also northwest of Benin...farther north than Oyo. But on the map in the video they appear to be northeast of Benin.

Minor errors that could be corrected in subsequent videos. Great job!

Thanks and yes I'm aware of the geographical variations. The map is not supposed to be accurate. For example Nbayini (The protagonist's home village) is a Swahili village even though it is in the Oyo empire. It takes place on a mythical continent known as Otiile which has parallels and differences to the real world. This is a trend that is followed in many other fantasy games, films, and animations.

Ah, historical license. Okay then. Cool.

Basically the coastline of Otiile has a different shape. West Africa curves outwards and has a large gulf. Otiile does not. With that said, It was impossible for me to put Benin to the east of Oyo without sacrificing it's coastline. I wanted Benin to have a coastline due to the fact that it has Eko.

maybe you mean ouidah.

you still placed benin in benin republic?

Wait, op you don't sound AA though.

What's Ouidah?

tpiander:

No... I this isn't in the actual continent of Africa and it's not supposed to match it geographically accurately. Also where don't I sound American?

Kanoro:

obviously you know what Ouidah is, since you typed it with an upper case letter.

Kanoro:

"It has arrived" is typical Nigerian or African terminology.



It's not the actual African continent but you used African place names.

Yes I did use real place names. Many popular games and films do the same thing. A mythical world with real world parallels and no I don't kow what Ouidah is. I capitalized it because you did. What reason would I have to pretend like I'm American? Also "it has arrived" doesn't particularly seem like a distinctly Nigerian thing. That's just me stating that it has arrived o_O.

let's not play games.

"It has arrived" does not sound American, it's more likely to be used by a Nigerian or African.

ie English as a second language, not original one.

Umm... ok? I don't see how that indicates English is my second language. What motive would I have to pretend like I'm American? Where did you even hear my voice? If you are going off the voices in the animation then that's your problem. The actors are all Nigerian. Watch some of my older videos, they are all voiced by me except for one which is by my girlfriend (and she's British)

I'm not referring to your voice (I haven't watched the animation yet).

Sound here means the way you're typing.

Great!

When will you be uploading the first episode? Isn't it 'later tonight' yet?

Well I don't think the statement "It has arrived" is the most accurate way of judging someone's nationality. Also according to that logic, I shouldn't even be here considering it's a "Nigerian" forum.

Yep it was actually already up but I had some issues with the rendering so I'm reuploading. You can expect to see it up within the next 10-20 minutes hopefully

Who are you sweetie.


.I really dislike when trolls call me a troll.

Have I ever interacted with you before ? Why the attack?

Geez... all this just because I upload a video promoting African history.

But you claimed it's fiction when I asked why the intentional errors.

Can you make up your mind?


You can also ask the other fellow why s/he is catching feelings although I just went through his/her posts and it seems natural to him/her.

Because it is fiction. Many games and movies do the same thing. They take real cultural elements and historical events and incorporate them into a fictional setting. Take this for example. Every place on this map is based on a real place:

Also to be honest I somewhat agree with her. You've done nothing but criticize me. You are criticizing my map and doubting that I'm American and you didn't even watch the video before doing either of those things. This post had one goal and one goal only, promoting my video.
