The Cavalry Arrives - 775 AD to 790 AD

I renew my Trade Route to Antioch and force-march a Trebuchet through M'banza-Kongo lands.

I start building a Colosseum in Ghannat and a Mosque in Sudan....

....and another Iron Mine begins construction W. of Thebes.

Here's a list of my Trade Routes and a view East Africa at the end of my turn.

780 AD: Another lousy deal, this time with China.

My Great Prophet converts all four citizens of Addia Ababa to Judaism.

Near Benghasi I start building a Mine; also a Quarry SE of Addis Ababa.

785 AD: I start building the World Wonder Notre Dame at Gao - I could really use the 10 Happiness Points.

I plot a course for my new Settler and on my southern border a Trebuchet ventures deeper into no man's land.

Attila has captured the Persian city of Pasargadae.

790 AD: The Chivalry Tech has been completed and I select Gunpowder to be researched next.

Construction time again: a Market in Georgetown, a Mosque in Benghasi and a Colosseum in Tenerife.

I move my new Pikeman to the border with Antioch - they are useful against mounted units.

I now upgrade 5 Chariot Archers/Horsemen to the powerful Mandekalu Cavalry.

Finally a view of the SE part of my Realm at the end of this post. Until next time :)
