Was it a result of this Patch or an earlier one. It seems that the initial start of the game is much faster now!

I appreciate that ;-)

The start of game was adjusted in the previous patch, I wouldn't have expected it to affect the speed, the adjustment is probably what you are detecting.

just wondering, it lagg like heck when i play it coud you please fix that, i love this erra and it a shame that this game is so laggy for me. please please PLEASE could you fix it!!!!!!

Untill now the game looks to be going in the right derection only the officer with 6 soldiers is not much. but not as big as the napoleon total war mods of the zulu wars.
Also the walls and building could be more like in the film zulu(16.02.2017)
I would like more than 6 soldiers to command (20?)
and if possible an map editor and scen edotor.
Iam patient and waiting for the new developments
thanks.

An increase to soldiers under command requires a proportional increase to Zulu. The AI in game all behave as individuals (like players) they are not simple crowd style AI where you can add hundreds in game. A three fold increase would impact most PC's capabilities and increase network games bandwidth

Regarding the walls and buildings, they were based off and scaled from real images and maps from the times not the movie
