Zulu Intelligence Update
Stronger Military
Horses
No Iron, but close to get one
does not have Horseback Riding AND Masonry
Special Report
The Zlus, located some 8 tiles away, northeast, from Immo, seems to respectus and remain polite.
Likely, the Zulu may remain polite with Japanatica as long as we do not contest their resources and expansion possibilities, and can develop a sustainable border with them. We may seek to hva beneficial relations with them, until we have clarified our difficult relation with the Romans, which means that we must deal with the Riomans first.
This means we need to build Zojoji up North on the coast with Iron, to build the other two Northern locations in the updated National Security Plan. It is important that Zojoji can become a coastal city, so we can expand our maritime options in term 2.
The Zulus are disadvantaged in that their special unit the impi will be quickly obsoleted and phased out in the military race. This means that we should focus on defending ourselves against the Romans first, as they are militarily stronger to us, they resemble only a long term threat, if we can maintain good relations with them. Still, they are the ones closest to us, and that we may well establish a defensible border both with Baylonians in the South and the Zulus in the Northeast
I suggest the following measures to counter Zulu influence
Build border cities in the Northeast in order to both contain Zulus and Romans.
Place a garrison on that Eastern Iron, until we can build a city there and deprive Romans of Iron, long term secure those 4 coastal silks.Ideally, we should develop a wedge of cities between the Zulus and the Romans, driving the militarily superior Zulus to the Northern Wastelands and keeping the bountiful south to Japanatica. That extra iron may provide us a local military base that does not rely on roads to develop better troops in the East-
I also suggest we go for Monarchy as soon as we can in order to both be militrily prepared and to have a system that lets us use more than the present commerce, foods and shields bonuses.
