That's why I voted for another sub-Saharan civ. Africa has always (imho) been short-changed (both in civ and in rl!) Could be zulu, or could be a new civ; lots of great ones to choose from. I've always thought the xhosa led by Nelson Mandela would be amazing. Berbers would also be cool (though that's N Africa). A bit further to the North, the Nabataeans would also be an amazing city state
