I mean,I know Zulu is supposed to be technologically behind but come on!
I think obviously the creator of the scenario wanted Zulu to be perceived as a military power and wreck-havoc in lower Africa, by giving Shaka a aggressor personality and a huge sea of impi to start with. but it's just simply no match, even when well upgraded and present in hordes and +25% modifier, compare to simple rifleman.
It took me 20+ turns to get rid of boer, simply because sending impi toward city = suicide and trebuchet is just way too inefficient.
After taking care of Washington, my north is sealed off by Portugal and south by Britain. Since I have DOF with Portugal and Britain denounced me. I DOWed on Britain. Sending my massive impi Army in and trebuchet.
Only to discover that the mighty zulu army vanquish in the hands of half a dozen explorers...seriously a impi (upgraded) cannot take a explorer heads on...it is just frustrating...
