      Fun fact, the Zulus weren't even indigenous to what is now modern South Africa they were technically also foreign invaders into Khoisan country. The Khoisan were the original inhabitants of Southern Africa (Today's Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique, Swaziland, Angola and Zambia.) The Zulus came from the north of now South Africa and settled in the east known as Kwa-Zulu Natal these days. The boers were a mixed race of various countries in Europe of which most were Dutch. I'm mostly sad they didn't have actual South African people in the game to play as the Natal Riders and actual players to play as the Zulus. It would have made for an amazing battle. As a South African myself I really liked this video.

      @@justinfourie3422 Well no pretty much everyone considers the Zulu to be native South Africans. They came from slightly further North on the continent and occupied the east of South Africa. Although contact with Khoi-San people was frequent (this is how the Xhosa language developed) it was hardly the mass displacement and genocide many talk about. But then the European came hundred of years later, displaced and genocided the Khoi-San through slaughter, slavery and diseases. Then moved further and further inland until they encountered bantu people's who they then conquered or made unfair deals with and then continued to oppress these peoples all the way up till the 90s. So yes "Bantu" people are indigenous to Africa before Europeans came from a different continent and invented the borders.

      Kill or be killed,
      Facing awaiting!
      A hostile spear; a new frontier, the end is near,
