Ethiopian shotel warrior
Ethiopian shotel warrior
The shotel is a sickle-shaped sword which originated in Ethiopia. Its unique curved design allows the user to reach around a shield and wound the enemy's vital body parts. Against cavalry, the shotel could be used to hook and pull the warrior off the horse.
Its shape is similar to a large sickle and can be effectively used to reach around an opponent's shield and stab them in vital areas, such as the kidneys or lungs. It closely resembles the Afar Gile. The Gile has two cutting edges, while the shotel's upper edge is unsharpened and sometimes used braced against the swordsman's shield for strength.

Re: Ethiopian shotel warrior
Made speed 4 because from my observations from African athletes I searched on google and read that they have unique genes that boosts some speed and agility. Dunno if it is real XD.
Here's a sprite .

Re: Ethiopian shotel warrior
I'm kind of unsatisfied with the curve of the sword so I tried editing it.
Btw, aren't it kinda underdressed considering the reference?

Re: Ethiopian shotel warrior
I originally planned for this to be a primitive looking unit.
To have the 4 speed and so on.
Hook, good.

Their just primitive in terms of weapon but the year when they became Zulu is like on the 17th century?

Re: Ethiopian shotel warrior
@Endru1241, what do you think? On the stats and image? And does this have a chance of implementation? Tell me your opinion.
