Exactly.. I told you it'd be similar. It is based in 1850, France was under control of Napoleon III, Zululand still exhisted, Morocco and Ethiopia were still around.
Tell you what, I'll give Morocco to Spain and maybe even have them split it with Greece, and I'll find some way to distribute Ethiopia to a civilization. Morocco and Ethiopia are important because they were the first large African nations not to be held by a European power. Oh well.. I don't want it to seem like it's a copy of your scenario.
Or since this scenario is an alternative history, I could probably make up a civilization. Yeah that's what I'll do.. Just like how the Europeans helped the Native Americans, the Asians or Europeans will have formed and supplied African nations to fight against rival colonists. Does that sound good?
