Nationhood is an hoax ? ( from a zulu point of view )

[Charou]

Probably not the best choice of words in this title.
I do believe it can be a very strong civic, but not really working in the following situation.

Monarch, Playing with the zulus. I own my continent which is stained with the blood
of my previous victims. and now transoceanic war against Isabella.
Time to quit representation and freedom of speech.

I am running police state, nationhood, emancipation, mercantilism, free religion.
sounds very much like Germany during WWII.

Ikhandas everywhere, BUT
I CANT see the 2
neither can I draft. WTH....

the only benefit is that the civic is free. but i was hoping for more.
Is there something I should know ?
Did I build something disabling drafting ?
Incompatibility with the other civics.

DId someone encounter something similar.

You need population 6 and 10% of your own nationality in a city to be able to draft (so it will say "10% Zulu" on the city screen. Hovering over the draft button tells you why you can't do it if you are unable to draft.

Not sure about the happiness from Ikhandas though.

Not the problem here. I killed the previous owners of my captured cities.
100% zulus.

So what does it say when you mouse over the draft button?

Hello,

You may want to try the Free Market Civic instead of Mercantilism, as this would give you more commerce which would help in the war effort. Zaka's favorite civic is Police State anyway, which does give a faster military unit producton so I wouldn't worry about the Nationhood civic, unless you're playing as Churchill or Bismarck. I would go ahead and enable Free Speech as this would keep your citizens happier during wartime. I would also go ahead and stick with Free Religion and Emancipation also. These are just my recommendations that you can try. You may have other ideas in mind.

You need population 6...

Actually, you need enough population to remain at or above population 5 after drafting. So if you are drafting infantry you need population 7 before drafting, and mechanized infantry require population 8 before drafting.

If the OP posts a save, maybe we can better determine what is going on with the inability to draft.

The issue with the Ikhanda is a bug in my opinion. I have posted a fix in the last post of my drafting thread (link in signature).

emancipation aside, free religion... WTH!?

Free religion if you have enough religions gives a lot of happy faces and boost your science. Also your diplomatic problems will be solved a lot if the religious fanatics will like you more. Ok, maybe theocracy is a bit more suited for war but only if you have a good religion and enough money since Theo is medium upkeep and FR is low upkeep. It all depends on the situation.
