Personally i think that the Zulu's where already underpowered in the 0.02 version, and with the reduced accuracy i only see this becoming more of a problem. In the last "battle" i went to ( Also my first ) the Zulu's didn't really have a chance until we went mostly rifles and it was a 1:1 battle. And then we still had a lot of problem with defeating the British ( I believe we won 1 round, out of 7 ). I understand where you are coming from with the reduced accuracy, but i think that would only make the game more unbalanced. I might of course be wrong.
Anyway good mod and keep it up
You have a point. We have to make it so that bots are really terrible and human Zulus aren't, it's also difficult given the Zulus limited variety. I think a better way to make it balanced would to be more restrictive on the British.
I Believe it to be a fault in the event hoster. They need to balance players so its at least 1:2 because ofc 1:1 isn't at all fair as Zulus would just get wiped out.
But the developers want this to be a Player vs Player mod, not a player vs Bot mod. To achieve this both factions will have to be balanced, because there is no way that you are going to get a perfect 2:1 balance without admins forcing it on people. Also people like Britain more, so there most likely will be more people on Britain then there will be on Zulus.
We want it to be humans Vs bots and humans vs humans, that's why the humans Zulu has different stats to the bot zulus, which is quite noticeable when you respawn as a bot. We do want it to be balanced for PvP however we still want it to be representative of the Zulu war, so Zulus should still have to outnumber Brits in PvP. At the first tuesday event it was perfect, the Brits had 40 and the Zulus had 60, and it was very balanced with the Zulus winning 2 our of 5 rounds and all rounds being close, the Brits were using proper formations and the map wasn't flat enough for them to just camp and blast the Zulus from a mile away. We don't want to balance it by giving the British really poor accuracy or damage as that just isn't fun, the weapons of the era were essentially modern rifles, they were accurate, i feel it's better to give zulus Olympian spear throwing skills than nerf the British rifles. That way it's improved for both teams rather than decreased.
