I've thought long and hard about the weird red lines that keep appearing. I think I found the answer, it's caused by the sun setting and leaving some of its redness on the earth! What do you think?

I cannot agree, why would the sun ever set upon the borders of Kanem Bornu?
I rather think that if an animist rebel crosses the line he immediatly wobbles into a wet spot. Considering Kanem Bornu have had very many rebels lately this could explain the red lines

I'm sure it would explain a lot of red lines and red areas, but I don't think it explains the 'mysterious red lines' :rofl:
After a severe clubbing near the border some very thoughtfull citizens have been dragging the bleeding corpses around to intimidate and frighten any filthy animists that they come across.
Or so I have heard.
Where else would it set but where the Great Abu deems it to?
It is not the realm that extends further and further in direction of the setting sun, but the sun that sets further and further to the west as the realm extends!
Hm, it could be just that the native native animists slaughter the rebellious native animists as the cross the native native borders.I rather think that if an animist rebel crosses the line he immediatly wobbles into a wet spot.

*bets he'll spend the next few months' free time and more on reading Knut's descendants' wacky adventures*
Alas, poor Johan, we 'ardly knew 'im.
I only read the first few pages of Knud, then i quit. theres not enough words in it. I read Jestors story instead. Maybe i should change my voting in AARland Choice......
But a fort is more fun to club from as it raised up. Surely that is ok? Glad the dragon is liked.
Certainly it is rather a good moment when I can build those forts up.Now those rebels won't take you by suprise. You are probably praising something right now. I know when I first get to level 1 fort I start to cry
Love the dragon
Hmmm, I hadn;t noticed that. A conspiracy it must be.Astonishing discoveries in this updates... filthy animists, fire-breathing dragons and forts... and... they all start with 'f'!!!
It certainly doesn't take much to set some people to calling for blood
I hope they make the change from living to dead rather soon.Here be dragons. :rofl:
Filthy animists are soon dead filthy animists, I wish.
Who stole the clothes from the explorers?
Quite right, I'll be on the look out.An F conspiracy!
Thanks you.
Finally, a definite answer to that question.
All ought to fear. And they will.All fear the dragon nation!!!!! uber of them all!
A fantastic idea.
I must also say thank you for the voting call in your signature.I would be honored!
I hope it does. Research will look into the throwing club but if it is found to not be very fun then don't expect to see it in action.Does this fort thingy have holes for clubbing the siegers? It should have holes from where the clubs can swing and hit the enemy climbing the wall.
Next I recommend researching the throwable club!
I shouldn't worry about that they will be long dead.
Sounds like a casus belli to me.
At the end of the day it is obvious that spears are inferior to clubs and the spears shall lose.The enemies are heretical Spear-users
A fine tactic. Because it ends in clubbing.
It does a bit but we will cope with a little dirtiness, Kanem Bornu can cope with anything.
Glad to have you along and thank you for the vote in the ACAs.
Haha I'm quite the same my room will probably not be so tidy again. As for the hole well I must admit I hadn't considered what it might be.This won't do. A thesis is primarily supposed to teach you the art of procrastination, don't you know? I was inordinately fond of cleaning windows, floors and even toilets while writing mine, but you have found a much nobler way to achieve sublime procrastination: keeping us laughing uncontrollably (no disrespect meant to the ruler of KB, please don't club me
Uhhh... doesn't anybody else notice that there's a big hole full of water in the middle of the Dragon? This does not look like a good omen, I'm worried.
Sounds plausible to me.
Hmmm, maybe.
Thank you.
It could be but I prefer to go with blood. It suggests much more action ahead for KB.
Possibly.I cannot agree, why would the sun ever set upon the borders of Kanem Bornu?

This is my preferred explanation.
This involves blood so sounds plausible to me too.
Few would describe Kanem Bornu as an innovative and forward looking country. Any change was inevitably met with grumbling, complaint and often outright revolt. The narrow-minded attitude was so well renowned that a popular joke in nearby countries went something like this.
"How many Kanem Bornuans does it take to change a candle?"
"Two. One to change it and one to club the first to death and put the old candle back."
So it should come as no surprise that even the development of forts was met with a good deal of complaint by certain sections of society who saw it as a move that strengthened power with the Malik for whom the forts and garrisons would no doubt be allied. Muhammad though was not one let such ideas hold him back. So in a series of hastily passed reforms and shady assassinations Muhammad eliminated the most powerful tribal leaders in Kanem Bornu, granted himself the title of Sultan and began construction on a series of forts in his most loyal regions.
Power in Kanem Bornu is further centralised
With the tribal leaders eliminated Kanem Bornu can move to a more modern form of government. Modern weapons however will not be adopted as the club shall remain supreme.
Anticipating violence forts and garrisons are raised around the country
Muhammad did well to anticipate violence for the ousted tribal leaders soon found sympathisers who sought a return to the ways of old and were determined to get there by means of a good skull smashing. Seizing outlying and unfortified areas with ease they soon controlled a sizable portion of the country.
But upon reaching the capital they were in for a surprise. A fort blocked their way.
The forts soon prove their worth as the rebel advance in stopped dead in its tracks. A second surprise awaits them at the end of that arrow and it is likely to leave them dead full stop.
tsk. tsk. tsk. Where was your army when all of this was going on? Do you let anyone waltz on in and take your territories while you just watch and wave?
The arrow getting close but not quite crossing the mysterious red lines could be an ill omen though.
Keep the updates coming, I'm enjoying this AAR a lot
Surprise at the end of the arrow... could this be the return of the rebels' worst nightmare?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist
)
Thank Allah that if the rest of the world were to Kanem Bornuize, you would keep your clubs. Although, the idea of Kanem Bornu Redcoats with Clubs sounds quite spiffy.
Were I graphically inclined, I'd make such a sprite. But I'm not.

I think that the forts should have a giant club that works like an catapult, but instead of an catapult it hits the ground where the enemy troops are. It would club more than 10 people once!
Otherwise, congratulations Sultan.
Otherwise,
congratulations Sultan.
Mm, absolutely. Massive, levered, mobile clubs like enormous seesaws on wheels, bringing down gigantic, wooden fists of fury from the sky.
These people can't even stack bricks, what makes you think they could design a gigantic mechanized death machine?
