Shaka Leads the Zulu in Civilization VI: Rise and Fall

2K and Firaxis Games today revealed that Shaka will lead the Zulu in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, arriving February 8th.

Unquestionably one of military history’s greatest commanders, Shaka’s reforms to the Zulu armies gave them efficiency, organization, and lethality – making the impi one of the most feared forces in the world.

The meteoric rise of the Zulu under Shaka, coming at a time of increasing European colonization in the region, had a profound and complex impact on the history and culture of Southern Africa, whose implications are still debated and considered to this day.
