Immortal Mad: The Arabian Conquest
Mansa has expanded as far as he can, but his greed has not been satiated yet, for he eyes a magnificent gold city in his northernly neighbor's lands. The decision is made and the Mali begin researching Chemistry follwoed by Steel. Yes cold hard steel for cannons.
But to start the next Great person is born
MAnsa briefly considers a culture bomb, but they never work too well on established cities. So the Golden Age of the MAli is begun.
And while we are spiritual we still use this time to swap civics
Theocracy and Nationalism. Time to build an army FAST!
A glance at tech show we have a monopoly on rifling but still have some trade options.
Joao's Lackeys proved excellent trading partners this segment.
Once we got Scientific we took a look at the land and found
No oil! Yet there is some that an Arabian border city is built upon. That seals it, Mansa begins to whip treb/rifles while using the draft, getting alot of unhappiness but having only a 15 turn dissatisfaction amongst his people.
Another view of the techs show
Not bad at all. Military tradition was researched and now Steam Power is teched while we drop the slider to 0% to produce enough gold to do some upgrading, particularly trebs to cannons.
Finally we have a satisfactory army set with a few spies planted in the major target cities
To avoid any unpleasent surprises we adopt Buddism
Getting Hyuna to friendly (same favorite civic), Ramesses to pleased, and Joaoa remains at pleased.
A suddenly dazed Saladin is unprepared for the unjust backstab
And his protective longbows are cut down by our amazing rifle backed army.
Military allies were acquired
And Arabian cities conquered
Mansa is please at getting oil but his eye still lingers on the Hindu holy city of Mecca, thus he begins his pilgrimage to the holy city behind the mighty Malinese army.
Ramesses attempts to leverage the AP
But alas, the vote failed, bitterly disappointing.
We swing yet another valuable trade
And begin researching Democracy. Coal is found throughout the Mali empire, thus we do not have the same problem as oil.
And while steel is a valuable tech we found our new Egyptian friends propose a deal we simply cannot refuse
In fact Mansa was in such a good mood he traded with Hyuna for corporation even though the Great Lighthouse's days are over.
To Be Continued...............
