The archers stationed in Meroe were deemed to be the least useful. They were also disposable so they attacked the savages first. Then, a division of horse archers attacked the barbarians. They were obliterated and Meroe was once again safe.
There were also rogue medjays in the swamps to the South. They threatened the workers of Meroe so the entire Ethiopian army laid waste to the vile savages. This was the largest barbarian horde to ever attack but they served as mere training for the horse archers.
The exploration of Europe was going rather well. A barbaric but powerful group of tribes to North known as Norway met Ethiopia. The more people we know the better. This means more trading opportunities for technolgies.
Dang French, they are just so mean. They refused to trade technologies which proves that Africans are nicer and better in all ways compared to Europeans.
There were even more barbarians. A group of impis wandered into Ethiopian territory, they met a quick demise though as we saw this coming and placed a highly trained swordsman to take down and militants.
Ethiopia met another Western European civilization. They were suspected to be the last though. Despite our two nations being of two religions they were very cordial and nice. We even made a deal between the two of us. It was the knowledge of Metal Casting for a minor technology and a small fee from Ethiopia.
The Spanish assumed that Ethiopia would easily give in to demands. They vastly miscalculate the growing power of Ethiopia.
The disastrous volcano near Mombasa suddenly burst in a flurry of hell and fire. Nearby houses were either burnt in fires or smothered in ash. There were severe damages caused by the disaster.
There was a new city that the natives had formed in between the colony of Yeha and the city of Mombasa. Generals in Jabuuti ordered the sword wielding soldiers to move to this new city once they had healed from the recent battle near Meroe. With the taking of this city Ethiopia would own the entire East coast of Africa.
