Technically the area being covered will be kwaZulu Natal, parts of Mozambique, Orange-Free State, the Transvaal but focusing mainly on that particular area and chronicling the rise of the Zulu empire under Dingiswayo and then Shaka and the latter's successors. The period will run from 1800 to somewhere circa 1890 (when was gold discovered around the Transvaal again?) but it will definitely not include the great Anglo-Boer War. I've been conceptualizing this project for some time now, it was originally meant to run with the old CHINA map from MTW. The game will balance out as follows:

african tribal groups - javelin type weapons, skirmish tactics, development into melee tactics with iklwa type weapons. potentially superior in close fighting. Basic unit is a hunter-gatherer hunting group.

european colonials - firearm type weapons (musket and rifle), close and then open order tactics, firepower range advantage, poor in close fighting. Basic unit is the colonial farmer armed with a miscellany of old muskets.

Thus the balance is struck by the europeans being able to kill at vastly longer range and hopefully demoralize their foes before they come in close while the african tribes strive to get within close range and to improve their melee tactics.

great work stitchmaster1. I urge lots of people to sign up even if you don't want to be in the team. Also could people post links to the forums on other popular totalwar sites.

Also the models for the wawrickshire regiment are done but the vertex weights are messed up and so the models fly upside down.

Might post some screenshots to show you.
