Impi - Buffalo Soldier

Description
A retro refit of the Impi, the Zulu unique unit, to make it more like its Civ V counterpart.

The Impi now has 3 unique Buffalo promotions when built in an Ikanda: Buffalo Horns, Buffalo Chest & Buffalo Loins. And an additional unique promotion Spear Throw.

The Impi is no longer an upgradable unit as it is now a unique.
As a result, just like the Nihang, it gains +10 strength with every encampment building.

@Patricida Yeah, I forgot. In Standard Rules + R&F it doesn't work. In GS it does. I think I may make the same change. (So rams and siege towers work in GS).

Right. A few minutes ago I've disabled your mod and checked that vanilla Impi benefits from ram/towers properly.

@Patricida No siege towers/rams? Maybe I need to change that. I intended for them to become like regular melee units. (TBH they didn't have that b4 as anti-cav right?)
Patricida 25 Nov, 2023 @ 5:24am 
Thank you! I've noticed that Impi is no longer an anti-cavalry unit. Was it intended? Cause I see that Impi has +5 damage against anti-cavalry units like melee unit, however he doesn't benefit from siege towers/battering rams.

It's still a good mod that makes Impi unique - thank you.

@Patricida Yes. In fact it works just like the Nihang. Build encampment buildings to make the Impi stronger.
Patricida 24 Nov, 2023 @ 3:32pm 
Does your mod improve Impi's base strength with encampment building or is it just a bonus that can be seen during combat?

@"Strudeler of the Tart Society" Ok. Anything to buff Shaka.
In Civ VI he's been a huge disappointment.

It's been a while, but I released a Rozvi civ last night. It too uses the cow-chest formation for a unique promotion tree.

Oh wow, this is giving me some ideas.
