Hey, cool! Now we can have something for the Great African Grab-Bag of the late 19th century! :cool:

UU: Ethiopian Archer... check my concept sketch here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=96931)

or the ethiopian javelineer.

PS: Hoho, now I must have my italian colony :evil:

At my work, I had an Ethiopian friend and an Italian friend... it was very interesting :lol:

Lots of African units now(though some are still in production....Dom Pedro...I'm looking at you... :mischief: ).

I'm curious though Civarmy...Are you finishing up your new civ checklist? You seem to be cracking out great new civs weekly now. Whats your secret?

I've finished rendering them... now they must simply be made into FLICs. Soon...

I'm curious though Civarmy...Are you finishing up your new civ checklist? You seem to be cracking out great new civs weekly now. Whats your secret?

Just four civis to finish: Taiwan, Abyssinians, Mapuche and Afrikaners. After that, I start the units :D
The secret is spending all the free time producing new civis and concentration :D

Dom Pedro...I'm really sorry for bugging you about them...just know that when I start making units of my own...you'll probably be bugging me. More on that later...

Civarmy: Good to see you again my friend! I'm going to be working on finishing Far Horizons: The Heart of Destiny(Which will feature some new civs, like Siam, the Haida, and the Sioux.)

Awesome! Can't wait.. :goodjob:

Oh wow, CivArmy... this one's going to be another masterpiece!!!
Hey, on another note... what about the UU? Did you check into my concept sketch for the Ethiopian Archer? He's historic and IMO the perfect UU for the Abessynians/Ethiopians. What do you think?

Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Sub Saharan Africa. The earliest evidence of Ethiopian history was in around 1000BC when the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon. The first recorded kingdom in Ethiopia grew around Axum during the 3rd century BC. Axum was an offshoot of the Semitic Sabeam kingdoms of southern Arabia, it became the greatest ivory market in the north east.
Ethiopia influenced the state of Meroe in Sudan. Over the next few centuries, Axum encroached more and more on Meroe until, when Christianity became the state religion in the 4th century AD, Ethiopia conquered the kingdom.
Axum conquered parts of Yemen and southern Arabia and remained a great power until the death of the Prophet Mohammed.

Islam was expanding which had the effect of cutting off Ethiopia from its former Mediterranean trading partners and allies, Muslims replaced the Egyptians in the Red Sea ports. Ethiopians were allowed to consecrate their Bishops in Cairo and pilgrims were allowed to travel to Jerusalem.

During the 13th and 14th centuries the Red Sea Kingdoms became Ethiopian vassal states. During the 15th century with the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, Ethiopian fortunes were reversed. The Turks who succeeded the Mamelukes in Egypt supported the Muslim kingdoms providing both firearms and artillery; the only thing that saved the Christian empire from collapse was the Portuguese. In 1542 as a result of this, missionaries from Portugal attempted to persuade the Ethiopians to accept the Pope in Rome as the leader of the Church.

In the 18th century the empire broke down into constituent provinces, and a hundred years of constant warfare between existing war lords and their successors followed.

Ras Kassa had himself crowned as the emperor at Axum under a different name, Tewodros. This happened in 1855 when he constructed an army to reunite the provinces of Tigre, Amhara and Shoa. Tewodros shot himself because the British, in 1867, blockaded his fortress. He was succeeded by John the 4th who took power by using British arms and was forced to accept a powerful young vassal King of Shoa as his heir, named Menelik. He built up large stores of European arms which he used to defeat the Italians in 1896 at Adowa.

In 1916, Haile Selassie led a revolution and became Prince Regent, heir to the throne. He was proclaimed Emperor in 1930. Mussolini, from Italy overran the country in 1936. Haile Selassie fled to England where he lived in exile. The Italians remained present in Ethiopia until 1941. Haile Selassie returned as Emperor.

After World War II Ethiopia's course as an independent nation continued although a period of war, civil war, revolutions and famine kept the country from regaining its former greatness. As so many other African states, Ethiopia suffered heavily from the aftermath of European imperialism.

A new government was led by Meles Zenawi in 1991 who set out a policy to pursue multi-party democracy.
