In the early 19th century, the Zulu Kingdom (lead by Chief Shaka) came to dominate large chunks of the eastern coast of southern Africa. The region was divided up into small tribes and kingdoms, but they kept very few written records of their histories.

Little is known about the regions of southern Africa prior to European invasions and colonization. I will continue to write strategies as time permits, and will continue to check the forums and comments and possibly update these posts if readers provide new insights. I do intend to look at some of the civs whose strategies were significantly changed by the Brave New World expansion (particularly France and Arabia, whose uniques were redesigned). This does not mean that I am completely done with Civ V strategies though.

I also intend to get back into modding and some other personal projects. Keep up the good work!Īs for my future plans: I expect to take some time away from Civ to catch up on some other games, like Dark Souls II and some Steam games that I've had sitting on my computer for a while (like Europa Universalis IV). I'd also like to thank the fine folks at Pol圜ast, who have taken the time to discuss and publicize these posts, as well as provide additional feedback. Many of your ideas and strategy alternatives have been incorporated into revisions of these posts, and I've taken your criticisms to heart in writing the subsequent posts. I'd like to specifically thank all of those who posted suggestions and feedback on the forums. When I first started with Assyria, I wasn't sure if I'd bother doing any other civs at all - let alone all of them! But people read the posts and encouraged me to keep writing them, and now they are among the most popular posts on this blog! I have been very humbled and gratified with the responses that I have received. But first, I want to take a moment to thank the readers and everyone who has provided feedback and constructive criticism for these posts.

Rounding out my series of strategy posts about Brave New World's new civilizations, here is the Zulu.
