Default Re: Aksum -Glory of Kings.

The latest graphic is the Black Lion unit. I borrowed the name "Black Lions" from a patriotic organization of Ethiopian intellectuals opposed to Italian conquest and occupancy. The Italians sought to invade Ethiopia and turn it into a colony, but the Ethiopians were ultimately victorious against the Italian army, and were successful in both sueing for peace, and retaining their independence, despite the Italians possessing modern (circa 1936) equipment and tactics. It was one of the few major indigenous African victories against a European power.

Here's the image for the 'Black Lion' unit:
