Description
Shotelai Ethiopian Warrior
Shotelai Ethiopian Warrior. This is the actual model for the mercenary unit instead of the wrong one included in the current Beta. The Shotelai has a new sword weapon "the shotel". Many new weapons are available in the King's Return to add both realism and fun. The Shotel sword attack can bypass enemy units' armor making the armor useless against these units.
This model might become among my favourites, love that sicklesword and white clothing.
I really like how your mod is like African Kingdoms, but for AoE3, keep up the good work!
Edit: will these be exclusively mercenaries (as in the current edition) or will the Ethiopian natives include them?
The Shotelai unit was supposed to be natives. It was changed to mercenary because I could not find enough information about historical African mercenaries (except for Ruga-Ruga and Sofa). It will be only mercenary.
I love this unit! And one can not speak of military conflicts in Renaissance and modern Africa without mentioning the Abyssinian warriors
