Please, its not really emancipation, i mean theres one candidate, askia, no elections since he wins by virtue of being the only candidate and everyone still gets to be executed if they speak out against the glorious lord of the songhai. So i think Madscientist can let it pass, i mean the plebs arent really emancipated at all are they

You have, however, posted the same screnshot twice, namely the capture of an Ottoman city (Istanbul, I think). The first time you posted that screenshot, it should probably be a screenshot about the fact that you weren't voted for Pope, or whatever it is that gets you to decide things in the Apolostic Palace.

Some feedback.
Rome started proper fishing of their native waters immediately after the screenshot. Some is fed.
Screenshots were fixed.
Askia "prefers" warring civics rather than the high-brow ones. I think we can let emancipation go as there is a lot of micromanagement already due to the map size and number of civs.

It's probably just being home sick, but I feel like I've been waiting forever for this update.

3 days? I am apparently not a patient person.

Askia the Brute: The Conquest of Africa
The time has come to end contention with the Egyptian empire on the African continent. Askia directs his armies to begin encircling the enemy
On the Babylonian front
On the Mediteranian via the sea
And in West Africa
Ramesses is still pleased with Askia
So it comes as a complete shock at the war declaration. Serves the Egyptian self-appointed king-god right for trusting such a brutish menace.
The World is still fairly aflame, particularly the Mongols and Chinese.
Quickly, Ramesses access to the Mediteranian Sea is cut off
Eliminating any major counter attacks through the core of Songhain'Europe.
The weakest weast African forces do well and capture Pi-Ramesses at the armpit of AFrica.
Unfortunately this victory was short lived and Hannibal was forced into a defensive war in West Africa as originally predicted.
Research went along Flight/Radio/Fission Rocketry for increased military.
A longer view of Africa reveals
That there is a lot of Africa to take, not a short front here.
However, the advent of tanks caused a vast increase in Sonhaian power relative to Egypt.
With more cities and a larger industrial base it's only a matter of time before the inevitable.
Hammurabi provided very weak defenses against The European Army, with terrain and Askia's greedy Russian Allies being the biggest problems.
There was no use for the Babylonian leader and Hammurabi was left to manning a cheap Bazaar shop on the streets. However, cutlure was an issue from Arabia, something to consider.
As the European army healed and prepared for the entry into Africa via the Sinain penninsula, Hannibal had rebuilt his army after halting the Egyptian advance on this front.
DeJenne now was a threat from ONE direction, and continues to rebuilt the West African force.
Askia now turned his attention to The core of Egypt, the Nile delta.
And as Askia was prepared to launch the next wave of Songhai violence, something occurred.

Askia the Brute: The COnquest of Africa
The Un vote ended up rather impotent as noone got the chairmanship, appently the peaceful Indian is less popular than the bloodthirty Brute.
Now Askia did have many propblems with the Egyptian Cavalry, and he was delighted when one of his good friends came with this offer.
The Mongols are willing to become a voluntary vassal! Askia asks the great Horse Lord Genghis for any advice on dealing with the Egyptian Equine problems and was surprised to here, " Dumb animals, just build tanks". BRilliant! Production of tanks is doubled.
Now the Americans have progressed fairly quickly and continue to offer Askia good trades.
In fact America has completed Apollo so their progress needs to be watched very carefully.
Finally the time has come to end the Pharoh's reign and learn the secrets of the Dead.
Yes, Thebes was had quite a bit of loot for the rampaging Songhai.
Askia prepares to move further down the Nile.
And Egypt collapses fairly quickly now
As we are in State Property the Corporation is useless, still nice to see though.
What's left of Egypt
When Ramesses is reduced to a few SouthWest African cities the assault on Ethiopia begins
Zara provided less defense than the Egyptian did.
However a major event occurred to effect world wide warfare later.
Askia heads towards Satellites and Advanced Flight and eventually Laser. It actually took only 6 turns to build the MAnhatten Project in The Gaul, damned impressive city.
Soon, Zara is finished
As well as Ramesses
Leaving Africa under Songhai control except for the petty Zulu.
At this point, Askia demanded the secrets of eternal life and mummification from Ramesses, who arrogantly refused. Askia tossed the Egyptian and Ethiopian leaders into prison while he tracked down the Egyptian priests to learn the secrets. Oddly, the priests were more concerned with the real world and their heads and gladly tols Askia what he wanted. Askian then ordered the priests to Mummify the two African leaders while still alive and display the figures at the ehad of each former capital.
Thus the two former African leaders were mummified and bodies mounted above the opening gates to 'City of the Dead" and "City of the Dead 2".
But there was still a few issues to deal,
The first was the annoying Zulu,
Who must be dealt with quickly
and the other the culture pressure from Arabia.
Seeing Askia's thought process, Saladin came by to offer a more pragmatic solution.
Askia slaps Saladin on the back and orders him to keep an eye on the fanaticism of the Holy Roman Zealot.
Meanwhile, what to do with Shaka.
Yes, apparently Shaka only thinks one way
The war did not go well for the Zulu, all of South Africa was swept away under the brutal Songhai army until Shaka was left to his 2 MAdagascar cities.
The Zulu capital was renamed "City of the Dead 3" and Shaka was given domain over the LArge East African Island with his task to watch over the native wild-life there. Shaka was tormented with teh songs from rather obnoxious Lemurs, but that is another matter.
With Africa and the Middle East under Askia's rule he pondered his next move and saved.
Looking at the cities
Now let's look at Victory COnditions
America has built Apollo and Askia has an armada ready to go if need be.
Gandhi and his Persian LAcky are closing in on Culture but engaged in a larger war with CHina.
And the Incan-Mayan Empire continues to teach and establish large lands in South America while the Aztecs grow in power.
SO where does Askia go in the Immediate future and the next step after that?

So many conquests and you're still pretty far away from domination.
I say...keep the cap ball rolling to the east.

If it were me i would just send the glorious army of the songhai to conquer the persians and indians, all the while preparing for a quick trip across the pond to kill America. (all that talk of freedom is amathena to the Songhai)
Anyways removing india and persia (no vassaling) allows for the establishment of a clean front with which to assail the east and the filthy chinese vermin. Likewise with Ghengis as your vassal the north has a nice buffer area to absorb some of the damage. Taking America at this point would simply serve to create a foothold on the american continent to remove any potential usurpers of the rightful songhai place as lords of all that is. (and if your going for conquest to get rid of the american savages)

Hmmm... i'd say head over to monty and America (North & south) and finish them, that should get you to the domination limit.

Ah! Two hours of my morning reading this entire thread. I'm new to this RPC stuff. Greatly enjoying it.
I'd say switch De Gaul to tac nukes, London to submarines, load them up and station them off the coast of the Americas. With a stopover in Iceland to pick up Elizabeth. I don't know if you have fission/rocketry yet but I assume you're close. With that front covered, crank out fighters/bombers and turn the war machine east. Carpet bomb and roll through everything in the way. Priority target is Gandhi to clear the way for a diplo win by any means possible.
Edit - obviously you have fission tech. I misread the MP caption.
Edit 2 - diplo win is off the table, isn't it, for the RPC? Gah, need my coffee.

Ghandi-Persia should be next. Order vassals to harrass their northern wasteland cities while you go straight for their core. Get the armada involved for a blitz of Indian coastal cities.
Keep rolling east afterwards. Can you deny China oil/uranium by striking southeast Asia?
Don't worry about Lincoln other than to watch for an opportunity to bribe Monty into doing your dirty work.

Askia the Brute: Further Expansion and the Next Question
Askia took very little time is deciding where to go next.
India was too much a culture threat to ignore any longer, plus Gandhi had to worry about the CHinese army to his east invading the sub-continent.
The Pacifist is not popular.
But before getting to the Mahatma, Persia was in the way
Askia was patient and spent all his time conquering all Persian lands, ending with
Still Darius lived somewhere hidden. Ah well, vassalage of Persia is only a matter of time.
India is next on the Sonhai war-marchine radar.
Meanwhile, The Gaul finished
With fallout shelters built askia has great protection from a large Nuclear attack.
Not that Gandhi posed a threat there.
The Indian Leader came to Askia's presence offering his loyalty.
And Immediately started crying and complaining about the harsh treatment from the Evil Chinese and Khmers. The horros of the Chinese occupation of Bombay came out as a truely sad tale that brought the ruthless Askia to tears. Askia clasped Gandhi on the shoulder and swore vengence against the Asian vermin.
There was one task still to do.
Persia was renamed Iran and Darius suddenly had a big desire to learn all matter Nuclear from his new overlord. Askia sighed and asked his European Lords if the Armada was ready yet.
It was ready and almost prematurely launched against the New World. However, Askia told them to hold off for a bit. "Perhaps we should check it out first"
After much havock
Ragnar was willing to
Having nothing better for the Viking to do Askia left him in charge of Alcohol production for the Songhai empire, a task Ragner was most happy to do.
However, there is some issues
The Incans has really moved along the technology path, faster than the Songhai much to Askia annoyance. He had hoped to deal with Mao and Sury first,
But
Hyuna is moving along with the Space program and has a disturbingly large number of techs needed to complete it quickly.
Also, Sonhai is 3 turns from COmputers and the ability to upgrade the tanks to Modern armor.
So Askia is looking at a 2 fold process here. USe the Upgraded Indian Veteran Army to attack Mao while using the Armada to attack Hyuna. I think it's prudent to get a large number of Tactical Nuke equipped subs first, a larger force, and some defensive destroyers.
The Modern Era is always so, interesting.....
