== Strategy ==
The Ikanda is the best unit-training building in the game. It provides a free Buffalo Horns promotion to every Warrior, Spearman, Swordsman, Impi, Landsknecht, and Longswordsman produced or purchased in the city. For other units, the Ikanda functions like a normal Barracks. (Note that the in-game description is a little confusing, and supposes that cavalry units also get the unique promotions, which is not the case!)
In addition to the , attack, and defense bonuses Buffalo Horns confers, this promotion enables Zulu units to earn two more unique promotions as they advance in level, if desired. These promotions and the bonuses they grant are as follows:
* Buffalo Horns: +1 , +25% flank attack bonus, +10% defense against ranged attacks (Granted automatically)
* Buffalo Chest: +10% open terrain bonus, +25% flank attack bonus, +10% defense against ranged attacks (Requires Buffalo Horns)
* Buffalo Loins: +10% combat strength, +25% flank attack bonus, +10% defense against ranged attacks (Requires Buffalo Chest)
Flank attack percentages given are based on the 10% normal bonus. Hence, all three promotions will raise the flank attack bonus to +17.5%.
