About the Dahomey Amazons

[ETWUnofficial]

Hey guys, I was wondering about the unlockable units with the Special Forces edition of the game and found a load of information about the real life unit the Dahomey Amazons unit ingame is based on. Really amazing story, I wrote a blog about it all if you wanna read about it: http://www.empire-total-war.org/2009...warrior-wives/

It would be cool if that was a rebel faction.... The Inca, sadly, were the dominent nation in South America.

Huh? Dahomey is in West Africa

Very Interesting , So is part of Western Africa in. Because by reading the story I dont think they should be mercs. The whole existance of the unit was based on loyalty to the king, One king. Very cool though, history never ceases to shatter sterotypes and preconceptions.

Yup. Where do you think white folks got the idea?

Indeed, slavery is popularily blamed on Europe and America. But Africa sold itself like it had done to the Arabs previously. Of course they're going to continue doing it when it's immensely profitable and the Africans themselves eventually fought to keep the practice.
