The units there are the Natal Native contingent and Sailors deployed to Pearsons column. There are no natal volunteer units in that picture. But the Royal Marines Light Infantry will take the light infantry role and we may give them a naval officer.
Nice I will take this units if finished.
Can you give me please natal volunteers image?
There's a list of regiments that partook in the war in the regiments sub-forum,it's stickied. Look there and google their name.
Add a Regiment/Class that have no red coats but white t shirts like undergarments
That is, quite frankly, a stupid idea. I acknowledge that some soldiers and camp followers at Rorkes Drift and Isandlwana were caught off guard but not enough to warrant a full unit. An optional reskin perhaps would be more suited to what you like, if so,go talk to those like Beta and Atilla who take requests.
Well, Zulus never really had guns, sure they stole some, but they weren't common to find. Only a few tribes could use them, and have enough ammo for them. Plus, remember it's not supposed to be human v bot, so the players won't respawn as a zulu, they won't respawn at all.
Wrong, I can't remember the exact years but I think it was between 1872-76 60,000 firearms were imported into Zululand, mostly percussion rifles and old muskets (though apparently 20,000 of those were sold on into other territories like Swaziland. Admittedly it was ammunition which was difficult to maintain, a neighbouring province, the name of which escapes me, did make it's own very low quality gunpowder which made misfires very frequent amongst the Zulu skirmishers.
Very few Martini Henry's were in use thanks to A) The efforts of the commissaries at Isandlwana who even if they failed to provide ammunition speedily enough (they hadn't unpacked any because they weren't expecting to actually fight any major engagements there) they did thankfully manage to blow up probably 95% of the ammunition at the camp as you'll see in the film Zulu Dawn.
At the battle of iNtombe I think it was 90,000 rounds of ammunition captured but very few actual firearms. So whilst the main Zulu impi had guns after Isandlwana they had no ammo, so very few would have been kept.
TL;DR Zulu only had primitive guns, had Martini's after Isandlwana but little ammo, dumped useless guns, had ammo on other side of the country a short while later, but few guns with which to use them.
We will hopefully have more old style firearms for the Zulu in the next release.
I think the Gatling gun should be used , but what about instead of the sapper making a earth mound how about they make a raised wooden platform or a wooden palisade or something along those lines
We are planning to implement the Gatling Gun but will do what we can to limit it, perhaps give it a limited amount of ammo and a thin range of fire before it has to be redeployed.
As to the latter part of your question this is unrealistic, there was very few trees in Zululand and very little wood. And they certainly couldn't waste the few wagons they had carrying timber.
Perhaps an alternative earthwork,longer and thicker to place a cannon on.
Not a bad idea.
