Kanem Bornu - Out of the Sahara

:rofl:

So you have to fight the natives whenever you go through? Poor natives

And I wish I could walk on alligators, though there would have to be many alligators to fill that wish.

Good to see Shoshon Konery on the job. Shame you couldn't direct those rebels at Oyo first, to save your clubs some heavy beating, but you can't have everything.

Do you have any intention of colonising the open ground between Benin and Oyo and the Kanem Bornu mainland? Of course, it would somewhat remove a potential source of native native clubbing, but having a connected empire has to be a good thing, right? Indeed, can you colonise those provinces? I've never try an "uncivilised" country in EU3 so I'm not sure about the limitations, such as the cavalry etc.

I would like to colonise that land but for the moment I simply cannot afford the upkeep. I think I shall give it a go in the future though. I can get cavalry but the main limitation is tech costs.

After defeating his Apathy, Abu finally goes after Oyo. Nice.

Always a smart move.

In my Iroquois game Kanem Bornu has just managed an AI westernisation (towards the bottom of the post)!!!

Now you've got a goal

Hmmm, that's quite an achievement for the ai. I wonder if I can manage it.

That Abu is a real hands-on kind of guy or need I say clubs-on...

Certainly clubs on is a far more apt description.

Your marshal lets you know that someone in your government dowed Oyo?
Konery surely is a brave man!

Konery is undoubtedly one of the bravest men alive.

Are you sure that is Konery in the screenie above? Looks more like Rogir Moo're.

Sweet, another war!

I do believe you're right there. War is always welcome.

You've run out of bandwidth and it's delinked the images

And coz - I was wondering that myself. Still, at least iirc, Rogir Moo're was at the time fighting those not so far from being Animists

Well Moo're has just gone up in my estimation of him then.

Certainly not! There are no blond spies in Kanem Bornu Shoshon was however in "Witch Doctor No", "Clubfinger" and "From Kongo with Love" :rofl:



Let me guess... evil animist organisation Elektra

With Doctor No

Beware of technologically advanced spies...

They have advanced Kanem Bornu's signature technology and combined it with some new ultra-high tech item...a shoe (whatever the hell that is)!

It looks as if that image has been stolen from the Kanem Bornu institute of technology. Where did you acquire it? Must Konery pay you a visit?

Its a shoe radio of course. Still, onwards Kanem Bornu!

Good sentiments there.

"Diamonds are Forever. Your Face, As Will Soon Be Demonstrated, Is Not."

A biiiiiit of a stretch, but I couldn't resist.

I like it still.

Very nice work, as always, DoW!

Thanks very much.

Those Animists are nothing but bunch of trouble makers.

But it's certainly good reason for a future war that those nasty foreigners in Songhai decided to send their animists to Kanem Bornu.

Looking on the bright side that certainly is true. Any excuse for war.

Careful, though; I've seen Songhai field over 20k armies, enough to beat back even a small European force until attrition takes them down. Not that Duke's clubs aren't ferocious, or anything

Well I hope that Songhai doesn't manage that in this game.

Natives fight everywhere. It is a little tiresome.

The war with Oyo followed the same winning tactic as most of Kanem Bornu's wars so far. Clubbing. Why change such a time honoured practice?

The Battle of Oyo - Much fun was had

Meanwhile in Kanem Bornu Shoshon Konery was hot on the trail of the rebel mastermind. So dedicated was he that he even spent long nights interrogating the famed painted women of Bagirmi for even the smallest bit of information.

Konery interrogates

Abu though was still occupied with Oyo. He faced a tough decision. Oyo was offering much needed gold for piece whilst his To Do List demanded that Oyo be annexed. It was a tough decision, gold would provide a great buffer for the coffers while on the other hand annexing just felt so much better and much more manly.

Abu takes the sissy option. Gold. But he promises to annex next time.

So far Konery's expedition was failing to find hard evidence of a rebel mastermind. Only a minor cache of subversive literature had been uncovered and confiscated.

Subversive rebel literature​

:rofl::rofl: Great stuff, what program is the first movie/pic taken from?

 

[Olaus Petrus]

It is good to see that warriors of Kanem Bornu know advanced military tactics, with that kind of tactical understanding it's impossible to lose.

 

[EnragedKiwi]

Haha, I loved the animation. It was really cool!

 

[Fiftypence]

Hilarious update, the magazine cover is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

 

[Raaritsgozilla]

YES! Age of Empires makes an appearance. Brilliant idea. Watch those rebels though... no matter how attractive they may be

 

[comagoosie]

:rofl::rofl: Great stuff, what program is the first movie/pic taken from?

Age of empires, right?

For some reason I felt a fatal attraction to the painted woman o

 

[unmerged(81979)]

Age of empires, right?

Maybe, it looked like it now that I think. I only ever got AoE II and on, that must be the first one then...

 

[coz1]

AoE and Goldfinger all at once? Too much. And then the rag at the end? You, sir, are pushing the limit. And you only took 19 ducats! Sounds like you need Bi'erce Prosnann.

 

[Qorten]

Haha, where is the time. I remeber playing Age of Empires I for hours without end. Fun game.

 

[Raaritsgozilla]

Haha, where is the time. I remeber playing Age of Empires I for hours without end. Fun game.

... and looking back, it is brilliant, and yet rubbish at the same time

 

[Murmurandus]

I just hope this issue of Rebellion will review my pitchfork v2.2...

 

[unmerged(81390)]

Age of Empires?!




Oh, the memories...

 

[nette001]

I just hope this issue of Rebellion will review my pitchfork v2.2...

As long as the background is a tasteful rebel yell-ow, I hope to read that review as well.

I just hope this issue of Rebellion will review my pitchfork v2.2...

Wait, 2.2 is out? Man, I'm so behind the times

 

[Enewald]

Maybe we shall one day receive a kanem bornu version of Art of War? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[Lofman]

Why are one of your men armed with an axe (I'm assuming the red guys are Oyo)? It's outrageous!

I thought that too, but then I looked closer. It seems that man is actually sporting a chique but very retro, last-century triangular stone attached to a stick, in the following style:
