****HARDER DIFFICULTY****
***FIRST SPAWN POINT WORKS FOR ENTIRE GAME***
Based on the movie ZULU (which is based on real events itself)
You are British in the middle of Africa. You hear that 7,000+ ZULU warriors are headed your way. You take refuge in a small fort. Your British soldiers have better weapons but the Zulu out number you 25 to 1.....
Can you make the miracle possible and hold them off?
RENAME ZULU SOUNDS TO JUST ZULU IF you got the non-updated version
DO that and the sounds will work
Edit: The real British were outnumbered 40 to 1, not 25 to 1 as in my scenario

Thanks for the review
I mostly agree with it. The map was plain because I knew slowdown would be an issue so I made it as simple as possible to help reduce slowdown. So a pretty simple map reduced my expected score of 3.4 - 3.8 to a 2.6 which I can understand.
As for your feeling the battle was dragging on and on that is exactly the effect I wanted to produce. I wanted you to almost get sick of of the hoards of ZULU warriors attacking you.
It seems I have succeeded in that aspect
EDIT: If you watch the movie the ZULU warriors at times didn't even attack the British. They would walk into firing range and simply sit there, and get shot. The British said they did this so they could hear and count how many guns they had. I did not trigger this in the scenario on purpose, but the idea that it happens isn't totally wrong.
EDIT2: Is anybody finding this scenario too hard or too easy? I can direct you to a simple trigger that can change the difficulty in very minute degrees

It was a bit challenging and fun to play ive seen the move that's why i downloaded it a i liked it.
Balance: 4
It was farelly ballanced but the cannos helped a bit to much and the ZULU couldn't even get through the wall.
Creativity: 4
It was pretty creative and well set out even thought the ZULU didn't have very strong forces so they were very easily betten most of the time.
Map Design: 3
There was hardly any deatail in the map but apart from that the british were placed in a very easily defendible position.
Story/Instructions: 5
It had a nice story to it very accurate and well writen,i liked the message at the start which gave it a nice touch.
Additional Comments:
Well i loved playing this game,i hope you make more campaigns in the future,keep up the good work.

Although it was a fun mod to play, it still needs some improvements. Get rid of the cannons - all of them. It the movie and in the real life battle, the British did not have any cannons. Also, consider having the Zulus attack two sides at a time - at most. Most of the Zulus should not be carring guns but spears. Have Zulus that do have guns be on the hills instead - just like in the movie. Make the base bigger. There was hardly any room to move. I found it difficult to move around.
Have you considered, doing a scenario mod based on Zulu Dawn?

This is a scenario, not a mod. There is a difference.
