Mali/Songhay and other West African Kingdoms

[Alejandro Sanchez]

Cegorach, I'm sorry, but... It seems that the author of the book that you took pictures, collected in one pile weapons from all over Africa and he came up with an army of Ethiopia. In his portrayal of traditional costumes is not the peoples of Ethiopia (Amhara, Tigray, Oromo, Afar, ...), no shields, traditional for these people. Horse warrior - it looks like the obvious fantasy of the author. Form of infantrys shields more typical more for the Central, Southern, Western Africa, but not for East Africa.
The images, which gave Beauchamp, untrue. They are supported by archaeological findings, photographs, images of Ethiopian frescoes and icons.

First of all - welcome to the ORG.

Yes, Michałek was known of 'controversial' approach to any subject he touched. Thankfully there is no problem with the gaphics.

Simply I can only make very basic changes when it comes to the Africans in the mod (available in the MP/custom mode pack). I am glad that descriptions were more realistic and thankfully it was enough to prepare basic unit rosters for both Ethiopean, their Jihadists enemies and Songhai armies facing the Moroccan invasion.
