It’s just a descriptor; all the leaders have one. Zazzau was a Hausa kingdom. Personally, I hope they add the Hausa so that Amina can actually lead them.

Specifically it's the name of her unique ability.

Thanks for the correction. The placement above her name threw me off.

Introducing Amina!​

The warrior queen Amina rose to power when the trade routes of the Sahara began to provide access to a larger and larger world. A callous and single-minded conqueror, she led the Hausa people on a campaign of expansion across the precolonial Sahel, and she was said to take a lover in every city she vanquished, only to kill him in the morning. In uniting the lands, Amina conquered according to her own fashion – with a sword, not a man, at her side.

Is this posted earlier than it should be? This is an unexpected surprise.

Also Amina finally.

 

[Citron]

How much extra damage?

 

[Siptah]

How much extra damage?

+5 CS. Will be challenging to find spots to fight against an Amina-led Normans.

 

[moondog385]

Probably posted earlier because of Thanksgiving? Firaxis is American, so.

Really like Amina’s ability! I think she may be one of the first I play. I still hope we get a Hausa civ or at least something more closely related with her down the line.

Cool!

Also, is this the first we've seen of the Great Mosque of Djenne wonder? I love how the torches explosively light up on completion.

Edit: my mistake, Tomb of Askia.

That's the Tomb of Askia, the wonder associated with Songhai. We've seen it a few times since August.

Oops, my mistake. Edited!

 

[AriochIV]

I'm surprised they're working at all this week, but they're definitely not going to be working tomorrow.

 

[The Fanatical]

Hey, another reveal only one day after the previous one! Wait, that's illegal.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

I wonder if we'll get Songhai now.

 

[Guandao]

All the Plains and Deserts are mineeeeee!!!!-Amina

This game really is gorgeous. Love the animations on Amina, and the Merchant (Tajiro?) unit
