- Leader (1) Shaka and (2) Shakira.
- Leader Ability (Shaka): Amabutho. May form Corps with Mercenaries (instead of Nationalism) and Armies with Nationalism (instead of Mobilization). Corps and Armies receive +5 Combat Strength.
- Leader Ability (Shakira): Whenever, Whenever. All units ignore mountains, which are treated as small and humble. Also gains +2 Diplomatic Visibility, because she knows Hips Don't Lie.
- Civ Ability: Isibongo. Units capturing a City upgrade to Corps or Armies (or Fleets and Armadas if Naval) once the relevant civics are unlocked. Garrisoned units provide +3 Loyalty, and +5 Loyalty if they are a Corps or Army.
- Unique Unit (Civ): Impi. Unique Anti-Cav, replacing the Pikeman (unlocks at Military Tactics, everyone's favourite Tech). Melee Strength 41, Movement 2, Cost 124 (vs 200 for Pikes), Maintenance 1 (vs 3 for Pike). Also gets improved flanking and earns experience faster. [Does anyone know what the precise amounts for these are?]
- Unique Infrastructure: Ikanda. Unique District, which replaces the Encampment. Lower Cost (27 v 54), +1 Great General Point, +1 Housing, you can build Corps and Armies right away, and also gets all the other Encampment Stuff.
- Leader Agenda (Shaka): Horn, Chest, Loins. Sorry, my mistake. This is another Shakira song reference. Now, let's see, the actual Agenda for Shaka is called... hmm ... let me look at that again. ... Right. ... Riiiiight.... I see. Well, yes, I guess Robert is my Mother's Brother, and my Sister's first child was a Chimpanzee. ... Forms Corps and Armies as soon as possible, and likes people that do the same. Dislikes Civs with few Corps or Armies.
- Leader Agenda (Shakira): She Wolf. Tries to take over Spanish and English speaking world through sheer of personality, and is totally going to capture all your Broadcast Towers.
- Suggested Reading List: Archon Wing Civ Rankings; Diety Tier List; Lily_Lancer.
- In case anyone doesn't understand "tongue in cheek", to be clear Shaka in the Civ Franchise is Awesome; Actual For Realsies Shaka is also Awesome; and Shakira is like just totally totally really, really Awesome.
- Previous CotW: Ancient: The Full Monty, Cree, Gilgabro, Greece, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock (Harold) the Third, Nubia, Egypt Classical: Kongo, Point Break, Price of Persia, Rome, Sythia, Medieval: China, Georgia, India, Japan, Khmer, Mongolia, Poland, Zulu.
