New Unit: Zulu Cavalry (September 15, 2004)

[Mobilize]

The Ghanese, Mali, Songhai, Nubians, Egyptians, and Abyssinians (Ethiopians) used horses for warfare regularly.. I'm not sure about the Swahili, Kongo, and Bantu. They probably all used horses for warfare once they saw the European powers do so.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Superb!!

Just a settler and a worker (which I think DP is doing) and my African line is about complete!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Hi R8XFT! Haven't seen you online for awile...whos things?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

This is a Cavalry unit, not a Horseman btw....DP already made a good Zulu Horseman.

Well, it is still a horseman even if it's not a "Horseman" replacement in Civ3.

Anyway, I don't think the Zulu really regularly used horsemen in spite of having seen the British use them.


EDIT:

R8FXT: I'll admit that while I am going to make them, I haven't actually started yet... there's a very nice clothing set that just came out at Daz3D that I'm going to get.... would you like/mind having a two-person settler? A man and a woman? Adam and Eve if you will, setting up a new city?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, Adam and Eve were Dark skined...I don't mind M-Unit settlers. Can you show me the link to those Africans DP?

I didn't mean ACTUALLY Adam and Eve... merely that it takes men and women to start up any new permanent settlement.

Which Africans? The costumes at Daz3d?

Excellent as usual Kinboat, This fits right in there with the rest of the Zulu units..There seems to be a severe lack of non-European Cavalry units in CIV III, so this is a welcome change...Great Work..Going in to my game as soon as I get home from work...

Thankyou

 

[Mobilize]

No M-unit settlers.. booh!

-throws cabbage at Paulo-

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Barely two pages deep and we've already gone OT....

Let's move it on to a more relevant thread...

Just pick up where we left off.

wait... now I'm confused. could you explain this?

 

[Bungus]

To all those curious what Kinboats making next.....SILENCE!

Its like saying: "This is ok, but whats next?" after Kinboat put all of his quality time into making this for FREE for all of you. -Sword of Geddon

Yeah seriously, stop trying to milk kinboat's talent for all its worth.
have you even ever had a chance to play civ 3 kinboat?

 

[tjedge1]

Great work Kinboat as usual!

 

[Dom Pedro II]

wait... now I'm confused. could you explain this?

I didn't mean the actual Adam and Eve... just that permanent settlements, if they are to survive, require both men and women... a settlement with all men, unless something's changed since I was in high school, is not going to last more than one generation without women.

Why not milk it for all its worth? Doesn't mean we have to have the whip to his back and constantly demanding more from him... but if he's able and willing, then we should try to get as much out of it as possible.

 

[Ekmek]

Just simply awesome. I look forward to more African units...

 

[Aluminium]

I hope I'm the next 'Lotto King'!

We may need women but recent advances may mean that women won't need men in the not so distant future. I heard of something a couple of months back where scientists took two eggs and got a viable embryo without needing any sperm.

The J-10 Chinese fighter jet and the 'truely' modern Legionary are the official next things on my list. I'm also fiddling around with some other stuff, but those two are the ones I should work on.

I don't really mind people asking what's next... Just don't expect an answer all the time

I've got to remember to stay out of Dom Pedro's path from now on... He's carrying a whip

 

[Cimbri]

Nice



Though obviously very tanned, I'll use him as a Janjaweed (a Sudanese Arab mobile militia) in my scenario.

Yeah, I started working on a comic book called Chromosome X about a society of lesbians who reproduced this way... but then I turned 13...

 

[Goldflash]

FINISH THE COMICBOOK! Yeaaahhhh! Maybe I'll turn 13 some day, soon

That I doubt very highly.
