Followed your lead Mad, downloaded the combined 40 Civs & Bug mod, saved your Askia file and then opened that in World Builder and re-saved to use as a starter file.
Works a treat, have been playing for the last two hours as Hannibal. Is brilliant to be able to play Earth with all the Civs like this, many thanks for the advice and showcasing it in your RPC
Now, with that pat on your back get back to Askia having his friendly word in the ear of the other civ leaders!!!!

In an off-line game I have found it much easier to play as Hannibal and torch Mansa'a lands early with CArthage (and little culture issues) building the military and Mansa'a lands working scinece (both are financial hence cottage abuse).

Askia the Brute: The Gaul
Engineering continued to be researched as military was continually built. Technology trade options became available
Giving Askia the ability to build caravels to discover new lands. We never built one.
And Gandhi offered a trade of music
Allowing askia to build Catherdrals. Never built one.
In addition Askia found the Egyptian God-King was becoming rather obnoxious
If Askia was not committed to the European scene, but alas he was.
The German leader came asking for handouts.
While a Brute, Askia had no problems palying the diplomacy game as it suited him. Bismark was given the worthless tech to keep the eastern front of Europe rather stable.
Next the city of Gao prodcued a madman who was spewing insane rantings
Askia was facinated by the man that he ordered the construction of an academy in the capital.
Optics continued to get more technologies
As Askia research Guilds for the ability to built knights.
Soon, a new army was constructed ready to wreck more havoc.
The choice between Charlemagne and DeGaulle was simple. We could not reach Charles due to DeGaulle obnoxiously refusing to opens borders, so ASkia
Unfortunately this resulted in war with the Chinese, the Ottomans, and teh Khmer.
Having numerous foes did not daunt Askia as the Songhai army marched on PAris.
DeGaulle uttered numerous taunts the Songhai army despite the massive army on his border. Luckily Stalin was at war with Degaulle also forming a nice block against the Asian forces and reducing the defenses of PAris. In one turn
Askia approached the fallen French leader who was still uttering insults. Askia admired the man's mouth in the face of adversery, brought him into the Songhai fold, and ordered him to aim his taunts eastward.
Meanwhile, Askia walked the city streets to see the situation.
The pyramids, ah time to allow each leader some representation although ultimate decisions were made by the boss. Askia renamed the city "The Gaul" misunderstanding the Frenchman's words.
A Great General was born
Which was held for the time being.
Guilds were finished, research begun on gunpowder as the Songhai looked for peace with the Chinese and an eventual new target.
The European map shows
A big issue with Culture with numerous other civilizations. The question is where to go next?
Netherlands?
Germany/Holy Rome??
But I tell you what, Askia has ONE thing on his mind.

The German block and in particular the HRE are the most pressing targets id say considering cultural conditions in the rightfully Songhai lands of europe.
Although if the prospect of a war with them is too difficult at the present time then a quick foray across the channel to finally "acquire" a second concubine for Askia would probably not be bad at all. Its too bad your stuck with the fanatic and the virgin queen, Catherine would have had very good relations with Askia.

Nicely done so far.
As for whats next, I really like the sight of that big huge towering enormous lighthouse across the channel. It will help tremendously in your further qonquest, besides, its lightly guarded by the Virgin Queen( Need I say more
)
Maybe take out Charly with the momentum going, while you build a fleet to finally releave the pressure on Rome, that is, if hes master isnt too strong atm .
So many decisions, so little time

HRE & Deutschland are pressing targets, but Paris is going to be hard to hold. Storm the channel.

Askia the Brute, Of the Problems of Zealots and Women
Songhain had gained much, Europe was indeed rich. However Culture is an issue as the allegance of Agustus was lost
Askia pnodered this as Agustus simply shrugged his shoulders and hte Songhai researched gunpowder.
Once again the emphasis of the empire was military as rich lands were seen to the east the over the channel. The English and Irish lasses intrigued Askia who hd become bored with Isabella.
Yet there was one issue still to be resolved.
Askia had the money and time to consider his next move was needed. The French had been knocked out which was the main emphasis.
With access to the pyramids, Askia opened up the privalege of representation to the Songhai
providing they were still theocratic vassals providing superior troops.
The great general from the French war was settled in teh Port of Joaoa as a launching pad for a furture navy.
And as Stalin kept the Chinese continually busy, Askia friend the Arab initiated an interesting situation
The Germans and Holy Romans were now busy to the SouthEast. Even better CHarlemagne took this opportunity to break loose from his vassalage to Bismark.
And while Askia was looking towards the ladies on the British isels, this was toon great an opportunity to pass up.
Holy Charles of the Holy Romans issued curses upon the Songhai promising all Songhai the bitter flames of hell.
The Holy Roman capital fell fast
Unfortunately the Zealot Charles was more interested in spreading his Buddhist faith than actually construcing a shrine for the mor eimportant task of bringing in gold. However, the COlossus was a nice addition.
Still, Askia was ticked and directed the army to reclaim Rome.
Agustus strolled up to Askia rather arrogantly and said "What kept you".
At first Askia was irate, but he smiled, laughed, and embraced Agustus as a brother.
"Now", Askia asked Agustus, "What should be done with the Zealot who now hides in the western hills?.
Charlemagne has one city left, but had a big tech advantage. In the interest of solidifying the Songhai empire further, Askia offered
VASSALAGE! The holy Roman had too many techs to simply throw away and Prague offers a nice blocking city against the western foes.
However, Charlemagne was a broken fellow, crying on the ground then looking up to the heavens asking why the holy BUddha had deserted him (OK, don't start the Buddha's not a god discussion again, I know, I know). Askia shrewdly stroked his beard with an idea dawning.
He picked up the broken Charlemagne off the ground, placed his arm arround his shoulders, and told him about the glories he can still bestow on the Buddha by constructing a shrine. Holy Charles beamed and swore an allegance to Askia as the holy messanger of the Buddha (ignoring the plain fact the Songhai was still distinctly Hindu) and a promise to get a Great Prophet to one day build the Buddhist shrine.
Askia could not get away fast enough, his head spinning from the pious ramblings of Holy Charles, so he ordered Agustus to keep watch on the Zealot, visited Isabella for some R and R, and ignored the taunts the Frenchman was directing towards Germany.
Immediately after arriving at Isabella's castle, he was interrupted by a parade of new leaders.
None seamed particularly powerful, technologically advanced, or wealthy. He ignored them all, directed research towards Chemistry and finally met with teh Spanish lady.
The next day Askia was ready for more trading
The map was extremely useful, giving Askia a great view of the lands
Askia came to the conclusion that he ruled too much desert and not enough Europe.
The Veterans of the Holy Roman wars were loaded into the Galley navy for the upcoming

Askia the Brute: Of Problems with Zealots and Women continued
Who does Askia go after first???
Askia expects little trouble, figuring his charms would win over Elizabeth as was the case with Isabella. What he found was beyond his imagination or nightmares.
London was an easy victum
With the redhead queen captured and the English army holed up in the Scottish hills and the ICE-Island to the Northwest, Askia expected an easy time. Elizabeth the Witch may have been incompetant militarily, but her voice was, plain evil
"Askia, you smell terrible, when was the last time you bathed. Oh wait do you even know what that means. And I have heard you have been consorting with that Spanish harlot. Don't lie to me, and stay away from that wine. Askia, ....."
This continued non-stop and ad-naseum. Askia was tempted to just kill her, but he feared her ghost would linnger. He put any intimate ideas aside, greatly missing Isabella, and threw his soul into the military tlaking non-stop with Hannibal and Joaoa.
Meanwhile the Obnoxious Frenchman managed to start a Great Person Farm, getting the first one out rapidly.
A Golden Age was started!
The Songhai troops waited and healed in London because there were Currassairs running arround although to be honest the Scottish troops were not too interested to getting the Queen back (Askia understood very well).
The good news
And Askia began making all sorts of trades, some for techs and some for gold
Civics were changed to open up the draft
And the Songhai stayed in London as they researched Military Science for access to grenaders.
More trades game floating in
Finally
And with the saved gold, a quick upgrade of the Songhai MAces
Allowed Askia to leave the hell called Elizabeth's city and move northward where Askia hoped for victory or a merciful death.
It ended up being Victory
However, the issue of the Irate RedHead still plagued Askia.

Askia the Brute, Of the Problems with Zealots and Women
Askia met with Elizabeth.
Yes, technically there was ONE English city left, very FAR away on a very COLD island. Askia took peace and shipped Elizabeth off to the lands of Nottemham, nicknamed ICELAND. Elizabeth kept her rants but the words were caught up in the NorthWest winds resulting in the inhabitants of the Western hemisphere holding their ears in agony. Askia was none too popular in the west.
Askia was pragmetic, forcing trades upon ELizabeth.
Damned Colossus and Great Lightnouse benefits did not last long.
So research started on STEEL, and Askia pondered what lands to invade next.
But first a few good trades
And Askia tried his hand at invading the Gaellic Lady's lands
The Irish provided absolutely no defense. In fact once the Songhai entered the city gates there was much drinking and celebrating, with a honorary procession to there Gaellic Queen's house.
There Askia found Boudica half falling off the edge of her throne, a cask of ale under one arm and a bone of mutton in the other as she chewed it and belched obnoxiously.
"Well, what took you so long big man." Boudica jumped on Askia, the doors closed, and there was much noise.
The Songhai warriors and Irish laughed and went off to celebrate the new frindship, and their new Lord's "entertainment".
So we shall leave Askia to his "privacy" for now and discuss where the Songhai are at this time.
A new Great General is born
Most likely to be used as a medic III for the upcoming major "Land Wars"
The Songhai now have grenaders/cannons/currassairs and are researching rifling for riflemen and cavalry.
The Songhai appear to be working on research and military
And we start considering building 2 armies, once centered in Europe and the other in Africa for the inevitable Egyptian wars.
The Songhai have also a large edge in technology now
And the map
So looks like the potential for a massive army real fast, especially with the draft of rifles right now.
So how is our Brutal Askia doing right now?

Very good!
Excellent, actually!
...Anyway, you should probably strike at Rammeses, vassalize/capitulate Ethiopia, and go on to get Mecca and the super-lucrative Holy City.

Well danged, just realized the rules says no representation. well, you tell that to Askia! It fits with the flow of the game, utilizing the captured leaders personalities.
