Aura:choose by the african gods(all zulu units gains +2 atk
With 3 range)

This seems like an interesting idea.
Those units are all quite weak, but good at finishing targets, attacking even weaker units.
Nothing special for the cost of 2.
But, when luck decides to finally get chosen - all units become ferocious.
To increase the effect aura could even be slightly stronger. It can be always balanced by lower chance of xhosen appearing.

This is interesting.

This makes a good gameplay experience

This should have its own upgraded version in primitive barracks, like the upgraded auxiliary crusaders. Eg. Elite zulu warrior (warrior), Zulu champion (chosen warrior) , Zulu headhunter (spear).

But the idea that each unit is weak but good for killing light inf but there's a chosen warrior that buffs them is a good idea, but adding "elite" units makes it harder to get chosen warrior and makes them not needing to have a chosen warrior since youll have stronger units. Except if stats are still weak tho.

Hm I haven't thought of that ok lets forget what I replied.
This shall be an interesting auxiliary .

I'll help with sprites when I have spare time .

Awesome quadru,I didn't expect it to have such a good acceptance, I think I'll have to do a lot more research on Zulu

Is a main force of zulus with experienced fighter in forests and ambushes
can thower spears
can see stealth units

I don't like the name spear hunter, maybe headhunter, spear thrower, skirmisher or just hunter?

Zulu chosen warrior or it could be zulu champion

even skirmishers is armed with shields but has a speed of 4.
Imo it doesn't really matter since most of the zulu warriors I saw from google has a shield.

Zulu axe thrower

He is bealtiful,exacly i think.

I remember a definitive primitive unit role focus unit,for exemple aztec units have only focus to damage most light medium units and anothers,zulu tribe i planing to be runners and stealth units with low hp,no armor and no bonuses gains flesh and blood,but he have fast to produces,runners,anti archers,some bonus gains light troops,stealth units(not all) and the "caster" of the group have some ability to increase troops +2 of dmg,reduces for a while maximum enemy hp and a aura that increase the sigh for +2 stealth zulu unit.
I need more time to thing about.

Is true,i forget about,most of zulu army have a sheild afterool the sheilds are unseles gains bullets but any way.

I need to re balanced stats for this units,zulu are weal but stealth and fast troops.
