New Leader Hint! (Looks like Shaka)

[Loaf Warden]

I'm as eager for Shaka's return as anyone, but from that shadow, I don't know that that's who this is. I'll consider it confirmed when it's, you know, confirmed.

Would be cool if we'll get a trailer showing some new civs.
Something along the lines:
“Because of him, war” and it shows a shot of Shaka and the Zulu.
“Because of him, exploration” and it shows a João II of Portugal overlooking Carracks leaving port.
“Because of him, art” and it Lorenzo di Medici and the Italians looking at some art in Florence( I still have hope they'll be in ).
And then it might show somebody trade related as well. You get my general idea for the trailer I though of.

Nice to see one tradition standing intact

Tough to be skeptical that it isn't Shaka. The spear and something in his hand that is likely a shield...

 

[Kahless26]

It's totally Shaka: The Spear, the shield, the ornaments on his head. You can even see the shadow of his skirt-thingie.

Yet another male leader, we are 4 of 9 now. Only 5 to go and i'm expecting at least 3 famale leaders...

Edit: Image failure! My bad

I don't think we're getting as many females this time. I think one is definite, maybe two.

Yay, new info! It's definitely Shaka, though, so not a lot to discuss.

The Zulu theme in Civ IV was one of my favourites, alongside Arabia and Portugal's ancient theme!

 

[Bonci]

Spear and shield. Definitely Shaka

 

[MAHRana]

Had to do it..

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

That spear. Shaka.

I also like/don't like how Civ IV missed the opportunity to have a Zulu Choir, which, as Cyanfunks video demonstrates, can be quite striking.

 

[Cyanfunk]

We need a Welsh Civ now, to complete the scene.

 

[Kimuyama]

Just use the Celts

The wedding scene in the movie is also excellent, gotta love them rhythms!

EDIT: Also, for those doubting it's Shaka, notice the Spears and the feather-crowns in the videos

"Because of him,war"

Is that a quote or a translation of a name or something? I googled it, but came up with nothing.
