Shaka (Civ5)

Shaka kaSenzangakhona (c. 1787 – September 1828), also known as Shaka Zulu, was the most influential leader of the Zulu Kingdom. He leads the Zulus in Civilization V: Brave New World.
== In-Game ==
Shaka speaks isiZulu esijulile, which translates roughly to "deep" isiZulu (in contrast to much of contemporary or "urban" isiZulu, which tends to use a significant number of loanwords from English). On his diplomacy screen, he is standing in a village (likely Ulundi) located in a valley near the Drakensberg mountains, with cattle-bone fences and elephant-skull totems erected around the huts. Shaka is armed with the signature weapons of his people: the oblong cowhide shield and Iklwa, or "assegai," a type of short spear.

=== Personality and Behavior ===
Shaka is an aggressive personality and will often try for a domination victory above all others.
Shaka tends to be suspicious of other leaders, though neutral towards fellow warmongers. He will often denounce or declare war on them for perceived slights. However, Shaka is also the most loyal leader in the game, and anyone who succeeds in earning his trust will find him a steadfast ally in the face of mutual foes.
Shaka puts a priority on developing and raising a strong offensive army consisting primarily of melee units, which are later replaced by gunpowder units. His defensive militia will not be as good, though.
It's also worth noting that Shaka is very likely to get and use nuclear weapons.
Shaka frequently bullies city-states, and may also try to conquer them.
The greatest threat from Shaka, apart from outright wars, is his aggressive expansion. He will seek to claim territory as quickly as he can, showing little interest in , , or religion.
