Civilopedia:
In 1652, Jan van Riebeeck of the Dutch East India Company founded a shipping station on the Cape of Good Hope. This colony prospered, but market and work conditions in Cape Town (most of the work being done by slaves) led to a large proportion of the white population adopting the life of trekboeren (wandering farmers).When Britain took control of Cape Colony in 1806, the Boers soon became disenchanted with British rule, and this disenchantment led to the Great Trek when, between 1835 and 1843, roughly 12,000 Boers left the Cape and headed for the empty spaces of the high veld beyond the Orange and Vaal rivers.
Eventually, under the terms of the Sand River Convention (1852), the British agreed to recognize the independence of these settlers in what came to be the Orange Free State and Transvaal.
British interest in control of the Transvaal region was re-kindled by the discovery in the late 1860s of gold and diamond deposits along the Vaal river, and in 1877 Britain succeeded in annexing the regional athough a Boer uprising regained independence after British forces were defeated at Majuba Hill (1881).
In 1886, further extensive gold deposits were discovered in the Witwatersrand area, and this led to a massive influx of - primarily British and German - miners and fortune-seekers. These uitlanders, as they became known, quickly came to outnumber the Afrikaner population and although their presence served as a great stimulus to the economy of the region, the Transvaal government - now led by Paul Kruger - refused to grant them voting rights.
This disenfranchisement of the uitlanders quickly became a major bone of contention in Britain, and the tension was raised further by subsequent events, the most notable of which was Leander Starr Jameson's infamous "raid" in Decemeber 1895 - an abortive attempt at stirring up an uitlander rebellion. Although the issues which apparently divided the sides could have been resolved relatively quickly had the will to do so existed, the intransigence of Kruger coupled with his (justified) suspicions of British motives and the determination of the British to use the franchise issue as the pretext for precipitating a crisis, meant that war was virtually inevitable.
This inevitable, but at the same time wholly unnecessary, war finally broke out in October 1899 after a demand by Kruger for the removal of British troop reinforcements was rejected and the Orange Free State, under its president Marthinus Steyn, joined to fight alongside the Transvaal. Although the Afrikaners achieved some early successes against not notably well-led British forces, they frittered away much of their initial advantage (of having their troops immediately on hand) by not following up these successes properly. Once the British were able to bring up sufficient force, sheer weight of numbers made the final outcome inevitable and the two capitals of Bloemfontein and Pretoria fell to the British in the summer of 1900. After the fall of Pretoria, the conflict, continued but took on the nature of a guerrilla war.
During this guerrilla war, the Afrikaners' chief weapon was the Horse Commando. Although these commandos had been used during the more formal phase of the war,they came into their own as guerrilla units. Swift and elusive, they were a constant thorn in the flesh of the the British forces.
Eventually, the strain of maintaining this guerrilla war proved too much for the resources and resolve of the Afrikaner republics and in May 1902 the Treaty of Vereeniging finally ended the independence of both the Afrikaner republics.
After the war, Britain gradually restored a degree of autonomy to the republics and, in 1910, became constituent Provinces of the new Union of South Africa, a status they retained when this Union became the Republic of South Africa in 1961.
Generally speaking, the history of Afrikaner rule in the 20th Century was not a happy one. The strict policy of apartheid, denying almost all rights to the majority non-white population, had always been part of the Afrikaner philosophy from the very early days of the trekboeren, but its perpetuation led to increasing international condemnation and the consequent political and economic isolation of the Republic.
By the late 1980s, the days of minority Afrikaner rule were clearly numbered and eventually, in 1993, the then president F.W. de Klerk bowed to the inevitable, and called elections in which [all] the people of South Africa would be eligible to participate, thus writing himself into the history books and consigning Afrikaner rule to the same pages.

Horse Commando, the UU:
It replaces Cavalry, has 2 extra defensive points, 1 less offensive point, attack two time per turn and cost 10 shields more.

Looks great.
I doubt anyone will ever get around to building every city on the city list though.
Is this the last of your leaderheads for now?
 
CivArmy... thanks so much for making this one. Ever since that old single-era LH I've always hoped someone would make an era-specific Paul Kruger... Now, I can add the Afrikaners to my mod! How cool is that?!
 
Hey Corvex... at least with long city lists like this one you'll never get any "New this" or "New that" city names. That had always bothered me about the original city lists...
 
Corvex, zulu9812, TopGun69

:thanx: :thanx: :thanx:

BTW: This was my last leaderhead for while, after I get my forces back ( :mad: I'm horrified with the terrorist attack against my nation until today, in 2004 Athens Marathon :mad: ) and I can start do units :goodjob:
 
Thank you CivArmy for the boer!

I can make good use of paul in my mod!

Cool. Nice work....though I was hoping more for Jan Smuts instead of Oom Paul....

Well, you could always simply use the head and call it Jan Smuts. OK it may not look much like him, but then it doesn't (to my eyes at least) look much like Paul Kruger either :eek:

(My apologies for this, but) if you want one that looks like Kruger try here:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=39860
Granted, it's inferior to the one in this thread in many ways (it's static and non-era specific and there's a problem with the _all.pcx file in later eras) but it does at least look like him...
 
The marathon runner is Peruvian, not Brazilian. The dude in the kilt was 'holding on to him in preparation for the coming of Christ'
Its also the same guy who ran out into the middle of an F1 track - during the race. Lucky he wasn't killed!

Anyway, awesome units

Could you make an Industrial Age European in Africa have that tall white hat they had? And those sideburns with nothing on their chin?
 
Yeah No. Civ Army has already wimped out on us and quit.

I've worked these days on some Civ4 mods and some (or "many") LHs, in some days I can do a big surprise to the community [party]
