Wow, that was a timely stroke of luck to come under the wing of France. Hopefully Europe won't be able to lay their hands on all your attractive camels now. I can't think why else they'd want the place so badly. lol
Perhaps even a Mediterranean power?
That's being a little too optimistic, no?
...Don't be afraid to NF officers to get plenty of generals
yeah, getting the MIL score high enough to westernize can drive ya crazy. My only advice, which I 'm sure you've already considered, is to crank military spending as high as you can, and/or build men-of-war.
Silly French ambassadors, getting into harm's way like that. I hope the prestige setback isn't too severe.
The blows to my prestige have been severe, since that ambassador event occured not just once but three times (twice in the previous chapter and one in the first years of the next one)! However, it can be rectified given enough time. As for military score, I'll use officer NFs and also try to pump up my normal military (it appears the more brigades there are active, the more POPs want to become soldiers). The next chapter will follow those developments.My AAR does manage to westernise pretty soon. To be honest I hope you westernise before me. Don't be afraid to NF officers to get plenty of generals(assuming you can't get them to promote normally I guess). I had to for my Sokoto game.. despite taking Ethiopia and a chunk of Egypt.
Well done with Spain.. an impressive win it is to be sure and with French backing you are free to do what you will. With 12 brigades that is probaby a fair bit. Sokoto, Ethiopia and Egypt could all probably be played with.. assuming you want to stay in Africa.
Pretty bad luck with the killed ambassador, luckily my AAR missed out. Good luck in the next stage!
Welcome aboard, Khaelyn! There’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity when choosing to play as an unciv in Europe’s doorstep, but luck has been with me so far.Great, another AAR that I'll be reading at night. This looks like awesome stuff though. I would love to try something as brave sometime (or was it stupid?). Good luck against the Europeans!

This AAR is amazing. I've never even seen Tunis survive past 1839 in any games I've played, but you're well on the road to making it a civilized nation! Perhaps even a Mediterranean power?
That's being a little too optimistic, no?
Probably, but Spain and the Ottomans decline rapidly, so that only leaves France. Plus, there's plenty of room for colonization if the Europeans neglect it!
Victory over the perfidious Spanish! Huzzah!
Any chance that with a well-timed pile-on you could liberate Tripoli from the Ottomans?
Thanks Konnigratz! After westernization, Tunis should be in good position to advance in strength, due to its rapidly increasing population. Though standing up to France is out of the question, Egypt is a target and so may be the Ottoman Empire, eventually (I want Tripoli). I’d like to get Lebanon at some point, if it proves convenient (homeland of the Phoenicians, so of some romantic importance to the growing Tunisian nationalism), and colonize Africa, though I’m behind on life rating techs, so there’s a significant risk of France blocking me with its colonies.
I've got plans, grandiose plans, but getting a profitable industrial base takes precedence. I've stepped into the world stage at the time of the traditional world timber shortage, and this makes things a bit complicated.
