Hi guys. After a dozen games, I feel like Im getting more used to Standard speed now. So I decide to make a playthrough with more action. This time Im gonna play as Songhai, one of my favourite civ in the game.
The Songhai is one of the three civs which have terrain advantage in warfare. The other 2 are the Iroquois and the Inca. The Inca is the strongest IMO because the ability to traverse mountain is just too strong, also his UU come very early, has a very strong promotion which keeps after upgrade. The Songhai stays in the middle and Iroquois is the last.
The Songhai's UA - River Warlord is actually very strong. Its very annoying to play against Songhai AI because river plays a vital part in warfare. The Amphibious promotion is very handy.
Songhai's UU is an absolute beast. The raider promotion is sooo cool. They are fast, strong, they hit like a truck both units and cities and steal gold while doing so. They are absolute the strongest Ancient/Classical UU.
The UB is great too. It comes fairly early and grand Songhai a lot of production, when combine with Authority, it helps the Songhai getting infrastructure up very fast.
And here is the 1st part.
Goddess of Protection is very strong with mobile warfare tactics. As you can see I can hit the enemy city with my Mandekalu, then retreat to my territory and heal up very fast for a second round of attack. As Songhai I dont need archer nor spearman, just ManCav is enough. The gold stolen is used to purchase more ManCav. Im gonna try to bully my neighbours as hard as I can to get the lead early and snowball. I made a stop at religion choice, which beliefs should I pick?
