Realism in civ is a frame for everything else to be bolted on to. The realism extends as far as, you cant build guns without first knowing how to make gunpowder. That's as far is it should, and needs to go. You take the frame and build a good game around it.I'm going to to start slapping anybody who cites realism as a good or bad reason for anything in this game. It's not justification beyond the most basic of basic things (the general chronological order, for instance)
and Yes, I'd imagine that Askia does take on some of Shaka's more... charming attributes. They're taking some of his exploits (making an empire efficiently) and emphasising them, resulting in a big angry black man.
Shaka, however really was that much of a dick.
