For those disliking Pharaoh's comment, I feel obligated to state that, giving the benefit of the doubt, Pharaoh's comment probably came not from a racist mindset, but from scholarly mindset. Pharaoh isn't attempting to "white-wash" a character, considering the fact that, historically, Cleopatra WAS fair-skinned (white). You cannot "white-wash" a character that is based on someone who WAS white. Pharaoh was only trying to help inform the developer.

As ExxPlay Games pointed out in their own reply, while the character is based on the real Cleopatra, it isn't meant to represent her. ExxPlay Games is merely using Cleopatra's name, and her rumored nymphomania, as an influence for their own character. However, while the developer didn't intend for the Cleopatra in the game to be authentic to the real historical figure, Pharaoh was merely trying to be helpful and informative. There is nothing wrong with that.

If you want to dislike/downvote a comment, do it to mine.

Actually, the character is not even based on the real Cleopatra, and the game takes place not in the time of ancient Egypt, but in the distant future. A completely different thing is connected with the name of Cleopatra.

"Based on" in terms of namesake.
