The African Legacy

My Zululand started out as a stong but backward nation. Establishing our empire from Zimbabwe to the Cape was slow and demanding, especially as we had to destroy those pesky tribes like the Bantu, as well as those annoying dinosaurs. Our aims were simple in the beginning, to occupy Madagascar and create a nation that filled Zimbabwe to the Cape without room for others to build. Expansion to the North was key once other barbarian tribes and dinosaurs were extinct, to build cities to protect Zimbabwe from a potential front line. Tensions had begun to create when we met other civilizations, whilst trying to secure an important with rich resources, including elephants key to our progress!!! However it was too far for our Settlers to occupy quickly and with Persia and Songhai closing down on us, we made the tough decision to declare war on Persia, as they attempted to settle in this important area.

The Persian and Egyptian War

After the declaration of War, I took many patrols of our great Impi Warriors North, we soon took the East Port of Hamadan. Persia had other ideas by signing an alliance with Egypt. By doing this we took it out on Egpyt by quickly razing 2 weak cities including Giza to the ground. Persian and Egpyt signed many alliance including Cambodia, Inodnesia, England and Germany yet there were going to do no damage as they were to far away to trouble the Zulu Empire. I then took Bactra of which was well established, I zoomed through to head for Byblos, I was then confronted by there Elephants that had met us on the border of Byblos, after failing to eliminate these, I saw more heading towards my remaining forces, it was time to get a peace treaty fortunaely I came off lighter than expected as we tried many times before with the Persians demaninding a big sacrifice. I only paid out 60 Gold.

More of the story will follow soon, with news on the persian alliance and an increase on anti-sematism within Africa

Yes, looking forward. Tip: the names of cites would gain in meaning if you included some pictures, like a world map, battle fields, etc.
Volum, I can still see some places which would benefit from editing. Even in you_ sig.

The Persian Alliance

Shorty after the great was with Persia and Egypt, we sacrificed most of what we had, to sign a crucial alliance with Persia against the Egyptians. Straight away the goods came good as Persian signed many alliances with countries like Cambodia, and we managed to secure peace treaties with many of the countries that had waged war against us despite them not actually attacking me. Unfortunately we lost a good friend in this war, the nation of Carthage waged war against our Zulu nation.

First of all our troops went back to the city of Byblos, with the help of those very same Persian "War Elephants" that threw us out of Byblos' borders before, hence we took control of Byblos. So both the Persian and Zulu armies headed towards the main country of Egypt with the Persians heading through Israel and Arabia and our Impi's heading North from the South of Africa. Persia were able to get their army quicker to Egypt, therefore they gave Egypt a hammering, we took the southern city of Elephantine any resistance was quickly thwarted.

With one remaining Egyptian city remaining (Bengazhi - West of Egpyt currently in Libya) Persia signed a peace treaty, our forces tried to continue however the Israeli city of Hebron prevented us to finish the job, lucky for us Hungary took a large army to Benghazi and finally smashed the Egyptians for good!!!. This Victory was important for Zululand, despite our primative society we proved we are strong with confidence.

A War against the Jews

With the war against Egypt ending with a great Victory, after agitating the Zulu Empire by constantly trying to move setlers into our territory as well as prevent our armies from finishing our war with Egypt, we decided that enough was enough and it was time to rid of these non-african peoples.

Our Warriors were already at the city of Bath-Shan, they waited for the second army to stand at the gates of Hebron, we were unfortunate to gain any alliance so on day 1 of this war we liberated Bath Shan to our people. We have started to show that we are backward in the times as our army becomes less powerful against these new units, however with the sheer numbers we are still strong, a massive battle was lost at Hebron as they managed to hold off our army but we sent more towards Hebron.

With the Israeli army severly weakened they asked for a Peace Treaty, but as we were clearly winning I had no hesitation but to demand for Hebron in which they accepted. This in end was there consequence for losing the War, I intended not to leave with next to nothing. Finally Israeli had been removed from Africa.

Next to come in the Zulu story, a massive outbreak of war in East Africa between Abyssinia and Zululand, as well as maps of our conquests
