Zulu Empire (Zulu Fighting Zeal)

Scaramanga · Oct 18, 2011

I'm putting the final touches on a Zulu civilization mod.

The lowdown:

Spoiler :

If someone could please help me figure out why the Impi graphics (made by Deliverator) aren't working I'd be VERY grateful

No comments? Are people more interested in fictional nations like Rohan

? Feel free to critique any elements of my Zulu clan; I put some effort into making it look half decent. I found it difficult to get a map with dimensions of Shaka's empire and the territory I found looked pathetically small. This is my first civ (or any kind of mod) so I'm seeing how it goes and I may make more.

Is the leader scene in this Askia or a custom scene?

It's a custom scene! Just 2D non-animated though. More improvements to come based on interest.

Now, anyone for helping fix the Impi graphics?

Looks great. I'll be downloading for sure when its ready.

I'll ignore the snide comments about my own creation...

This looks like a very good mod, well designed!

I just wondered, are you planning on reskinning the Impi unit?

malcolm01234 · Oct 22, 2011

If you look in the first post he was using another skin but he couldn't get it to work

The entries you have in civ5artdefines_unitmembers_Zulu.xml and civ5artdefines_units_Zulu.xml have to be added to the end of the full civ5artdefines_unitmembers.xml and civ5artdefines_units.xml, respectively.

Note that because CiV requires you include these files (with your changes) in their entirety, you will need to merge the entries from any other unit mod you'd like to use at the same time into those files. Both R.E.D. modpack and my mod include references to the Impi model, so if either of those mods are loaded after yours, it should work fine as is.

This nice mod deserves to have its place in G&K.

File uploaded as RAR and ZIP.

New version is up.

New version is up, various bug fix.

Note: to keep the forums clean, in the future I will avoid double posting for updates, unless it's really necessary.
Suggestions about the mod are welcome.

I think the introduction section is a bit too short. If you can add more to that section it should have some parity with regular civ's.

Agreed, it's another thing on my to do list

Hello imaplayer !

I've tried to use your mod, but it always crashed the game.
I could select the zulu civ for a new game. I see the screen presenting the civ but when the game should begin, I have a crash of Civ V, and the return on windows.
I've trued many times, with several configurations : with and without other mod. For always the same result.
Playing with GtK (french language).

If you have any idea, because your mod seems great...

Thanks.

Aegnor · Oct 3, 2012

OK, sorry for the previous message.
I've deleted the files and then download the mod again. It works fine now.
Don't know what's happen the first time.

Very nice mod ! :thumbsup:

Hey all. I've taken to reading "Washing of the Spears" by Donald Morris and hope to have some changes soon!
