CETSHWAYO kaMPANDE
Here's the second of my group of four, it is Cetshwayo kaMpande of the Zulu! I have to give credit to cfkane for the inspiration (I saw his Xerxes and I decided to base Cetshwayo on Cunhambebe). Unfortunately Cetshwayo was a much larger man than this, but I was unable to successfully get him into his true jolly-self, which is why I called this version 1. I intend on going back to this LH and making him look more accurate. This LH was requsted for as long as I can remember, and should make a great addition to any mod (the Zulu need another leader) and here's why he should lead the Zulu...
Cetshwayo was the Zulu king during the Zulu Wars (you know, the one where they fought against the Brits), and was the nephew of Shaka. Cetshwayo established the Zulu capital at Ulundi (which is the one you found when you play as them by the way), armed his Impi warriors with Muskets, reinstated Shaka's military system, banished the white man from his lands, incited rebellions in Transvaal and still had time to maintain his girlish figure. After numerous initial victories his mighty Zulu warriors were eventually defeated at the battle of Ulundi and Cetshwayo was deposed and exiled to Britain. He returned but died soon thereafter, being the last King of an independent Zulu nation.
As usual I don't make XML for these guys, but since a lot of people ask I will provide the ArtDefines:
Code:

</LeaderheadArtInfo>I hope you guys like him, and if not, don't worry. This is only version 1. I will however mention that in his earlier reign he was in much better shape (I just looked it up) so this isn't horrible, although he certainly wasn't even balding back then... so its kind of weird... apparently I type a lot more when I'm drunk!
Enjoy!
