Just started new game, Monarch level, real world map, huge. I am the babylonians, located in northen Africa, south of me, starting at the Horn of Africa, lies the mighty Zulu empire. How do I win?
The Zulus declared war on me by the time I got Polytheism. My toughest troopers are bowmen, and I just got the capacity to produce swordsmen. We both have about 6 cities, ::king:
In just faced the first onsloyght of Zulu warriors and bowmen, and managed to stay alive. My cities are protected by spearmen, and I am building up a strikeforce of bowmen, at this point something like 4 of them. Or towns are still some distance away, so I doubt that my higher culture will come to play.
For the sake of mankind, tell me how to beat these barbarians!
 
First, build some barracks; veteran units are the only way to go. Build a strike force of swordsmen and catapults (I like a ratio of 2/1) and send it against one of their cities. If you have horsemen, make sure to build a few of these to protect the flanks of your strike force and to pillage the Zulu infrastructure. Don't hesitate to use the whip if required. Good luck.
