Rise of the Songhai: While We Are Here

Now that the Bridge has been built I can start transferring troops to East Europe to help defend Brest-Litovsk. I also have post-combat maintenance to take care of as well as regular Business. A Commander's work is never over...

I don't need that Mandekalu Cavalry embarked anymore - the horses are getting seasick!

I've decided to build a Fort on that Marsh hex.

A Caravel has discovered a Natural Wonder in Sri Lanka - a Happiness Point for the Empire :)

A Galleass is placed in Repair Mode....

....and in Sudan I commence building a Market.

My southern border and the Samarkand area at the end of my turn. The Indians have arrived on the scene now.

1225 AD: I've received a Musketman from M'banza-Kongo and I plot its move towards Alexandria.

I send a Mandekalu Cavalry to East Europe

My Caravel is now approaching the Bay of Bengal - very much in Siamese hands.

I decide to build a new Musketman in Chad now that the Mosque has been completed.

My troops are now on dry land.

Another Ancient Ruin is explored and I receive a citizen at my nearest City.

I purchase a Musketman at Brest-Litovsk and purchase a hex to further widen the land-bridge between Europe and Asia Minor.

The Eastern Mediterranean at the end of 1225 AD.

1230 AD: A last Minute trade deal with China before....

....declaring war on Ramesses II - Memphis is too great an obstacle....and I lost a Cargo ship there...

I move in a Galleass and bombard Memphis.

Another Settler for the New World has arrived and I am sure that a Worker will be useful, too.

I might need a Trebuchet to defend what I have conquered

I move a whole bunch of troops forward, incl. three Trebuchets and a Composite Bowman. I move a Worker to Alexandria in order to build a road to Memphis.
