The Zulus are, with the possible exception of the ancient Spartans, the most thoroughly militarised society in the history of the world. Shaka's "Age Regiment" policy where all boys of a certain age would be worked together as a regiment from early childhood combined with the massive amount of military training and discipline makes them one of History's most interesting and exotic cultures, IMO.

it's still a shame that they wasted one slot on iroquese. except in the rare cases when a little window pops out 'american civilization has been destroyed by the iroquese'

I'll probably be adding Argentina to my game (with a respectable leader I should add ). What would a good unique unit be?

Also, to any Canadians in the audience, what would be a good Canadian unique unit be?

WWI-era improved rifleman. Impervious to gas attacks due to its special "urinate on hankerchief" ability.

Seriously, though, an improved rifleman would be good. Canadians were used as shock troops through a large part of the war, known as "Canada's Hundred Days".

Well, you could always use a good cavalry unit from the 1880s period during the time of the last Indian Wars. They were the best cavalry units in Latin America with their modern weaponry and superior training.

Whatever the Candian UU its special ability should be to burn down a city, but only if it is the capital, and of the American civ.

Only to see a bigger and better capital be built in it's place...

Because pre-made civs will have fancy leader animations etc, it won't quite be the same to use some Viking leader drawing as replacement... Likewise it will be aestetichally inconvenient.

The acoustics are awful, but I can read what you type and submit just fine.
