Askia isn't half bad

I was thinking this morning: Songhai sword rush:

Start by building warriors. Go up the honor tree. This gives your units bonus against barbs and identifies where the camps are. Go kill the camps for the $$$. This also gives your warriors promos. Beeline IW. Settle on iron. Upgrade to swords. Hopefully by that time the 2nd SP comes along for the general. Attack, wipe out one civ.

Then go after the UB for more culture followed by a beeline for the UU.

Could be more powerful if chariots upgrade to horse archers (whatever they're called in ciV) to go that route instead.

Have you guys ever attacked Egypt as Askia?

600 gold per city. You get x3 gold from your racial, and that amount is doubled by the Egyptian's Unique building.

I like this for multiplayer. Just hope for no horsemen rush from a neighbor...but definitively a leader i like. And if city states are close you can pillage them without conquering to bring more money at home. Just kill their units outsite his territory. They will never be a threat.
