welcome to the Next Role Play Challenge, The Next Generation where I play as a non-52 CIV leader with our own specific rules and goals. These games are meant to be fun and educational, usually with an entertaining or historic twist.
In this case I take aim at one of the new Civilization 5 leaders, Askia of the Songhai. Frankly I am not impressed with CIV 5 (hell if I was why would I play Civ IV RPCS!) but very much like the idea of the desert warrior!
In fact, ASkia has no great love for Civilization 5 either, thus his appearance here! He has bailed ship, taken over the week and money obsessed Mansa'a role, and looks to run his river-warriors all over the world! However, Askia is no man of class or culture, he is a brutal man using simple means to get reach his goals. And that goal to take what he wants, which is no less than the world!
Game setup
Earth-Map, the 34 leader variant.
We are playing as Mansa Musa, thus we have his UU/UB and financial/spiritual. Askia needs no petty warrior traits to make war.
On this scenario every starts with 2 warrior and a worker. I deleted one warrior and the worker.
Difficulty is Emperor and speed is Epic.
All victory conditions are available.
RULES!
1) Askia MUST win by Conquest only. He may vassal as many or as few as he wishes.
2) He must adopt proper warring civics. He also is not interested in anything high-brow like representation/universal sufferage/Bureacracy/Free Speech/Emancipation.
3) He prefers to head towards only military techs but will research techs for the economy as he sees fit.
So onto our leader
The starting location
And for those of you NOT familiar with the earth map
Askia is rather limited on military resources.
So how to start, where to settle, and what to research? Askia has mining and the wheel. I say we do the hunting/archery thing and take a few skirmisheers to Egypt.
PS: You need the 40 civ mod to run the save. Sorry, I have no idea how I got it, but I am sure some RPC fan will help poor old MAD out.
