In-Game Info[]

Shaka was the illegitimate son of a Zulu chief. Shaka’s mother was exiled to hide the fact of his birth. Joining the Mthethwa army, he proved a fierce warrior and immediately proceeded to change warfare as the Zulus knew it.

Shaka disliked the flimsy throwing spear, and ergo developed the stout thrusting spear. He forced his warriors to walk barefoot on thorny bushes, instead of wearing sandals. He also made their shields larger.

Shaka made his case for leadership of the Zulus when his father died in 1816. The Mthethwa chief supported Shaka, and the apparent heir was eliminated. Thus Shaka became chief of the Zulus.

The Zulus’ antagonistic neighbors, the Ndwandwe, attacked Shaka’s 4 thousand troops with 10 thousand. Using the terrain, their new fighting style, and their new weapons, the Zulus sent the invaders fleeing.

Finisher: Shaka spits poison into his opponents eyes, causing them to recoil in pain. Shaka then pulls out his iklwa and stabs them through the neck.
