I'm sure they'll torture the secret out of some filthy Europeans eventually.

It is something that the Europeans would learn from them. Who do you think brought civilization to Europe? :p

These people can't even stack bricks, what makes you think they could design a gigantic mechanized death machine?

Allah will guide them, just like he guided Noah to build the club-shaped ark.

Kanem Bornu has candles. :eek:

I find that most disturbing that Kanem Bornuans use fire, because the fire is a thing which is worshipped by the Animists and therefore it is evil and filthy.

It's special Muslim fire from the mouth of the Allah-approved dragons of Kanem-Bornu, sourced locally to cut down on air miles (the dragons get tired if they have to fly far)

Clubbing cannot be clubbed to death because in clubbing, clubbing clubs you.


You know why only men can wear clubs?

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? :D
I try not to but since i can't support a large army I tend to keep it all in one palce and it takes quite a while for them to travel the empire.

Hah, I thought your tribe/kingdom/empire was very innovative. :rofl:
How so? Was it in terms of clubbing techniques? To those they are always open to new ideas.

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 :cool:
Well we certainly wouldn't want to step over it.

I demand you club those people! :mad:
Of course, it shall be done.

Surprise at the end of the arrow... could this be the return of the rebels' worst nightmare? :eek:

cafeclub.png

(Sorry, I couldn't resist :rolleyes:)
It will be. :D I like that bar.

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. :)
It certainly does. Warfare may not have been as effective but it would have been much more fun.

You can alwyas put clubs in the place of arrows
True words indeed.

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,:cool: congratulations Sultan.
A clubberpault? :D That would be very cool.

Mm, absolutely. Massive, levered, mobile clubs like enormous seesaws on wheels, bringing down gigantic, wooden fists of fury from the sky.
I quite agree.

These people can't even stack bricks, what makes you think they could design a gigantic mechanized death machine?
With an attitude like that they certainly never will.

I'm sure they'll torture the secret out of some filthy Europeans eventually.
Possibly.

Sounds like something a filthy animist would say. . .
I'm glad you're always on the watch for those sneaky scoundrels.

It is something that the Europeans would learn from them. Who do you think brought civilization to Europe? :p
That is an interesting concept.

Allah will guide them, just like he guided Noah to build the club-shaped ark.
He will guide us. If he doesn't guide us where we want to go then its time to convert.

It seems that the subject of clubbing is being clubbed to death... next to those filthy rebels of course...;)
It is a little bit...

Kanem Bornu has candles. :eek:

I find that most disturbing that Kanem Bornuans use fire, because the fire is a thing which is worshipped by the Animists and therefore it is evil and filthy.
Well it is a valid concern but we shall be careful that no shrines dedicated to it start up. If they do they will be broken.

It's special Muslim fire from the mouth of the Allah-approved dragons of Kanem-Bornu, sourced locally to cut down on air miles (the dragons get tired if they have to fly far)
That's quite a different concept of air miles than usual but it seems reasonable.

How dare you make such an accusation of me!

I challenge you to a duel, prepare your club!
Ok lets all calm down now. I know a little clubbing never hurt anyone but I'd like my readers to remain whole.

If he chooses anything else, he is an aminist!:D
Just what I would have said too.

Clubbing cannot be clubbed to death because in clubbing, clubbing clubs you.


You know why only men can wear clubs?
Ahh too many clubs. Is there some point in which everything melts down due to the number of times club is used?

I accept your challenge, and I will see you on the sand of honor!
Oh dear, well I guess I can afford to lose one reader. May the best clubman win.

For some years now, since the annexation of Oyo, Kanem Bornu and Mutapa had been at war. In reality this meant little except that Mutapa was acknowledged as the enemy instead of animists in speeches by the sultan. Most of the Kanem Bornuans though had forgotten the war was even taking place. In a somewhat unexciting moment it was concluded that the complete lack of hostilities between the two nations was undeniable grounds for peace, a casus pactis if you will.
133-peace.gif

Thrilling

To celebrate the good news Muhammad declared once again that the enemies were the native native animists beyond the borders of Kanem Bornu. The war effort began with a push into the province of Pindinga. By claiming it for KB the provinces of Benin and Ife were at last joined to the rest of the empire.
134-joined.jpg


In sub-Saharan Africa though peace between the various states is never long lived. Soon after the conclusion of hostilities with Mutapa an envoy came calling at Muhammad's palace begging for Kanem Bornu to go to the aid of Songhai.
135-war.jpg


Not one to rush to a decision though Muhammad carefully weighed up the opposing forces.
136-hardchoice.jpg

With such overwhelming odds in favour of Mali it was not a hard choice. Honour and alliance be damned, Songhai was on their own. In hindsight the decision proved to be wise. Mali overran Songhai in a matter of weeks. The latter was reduced to one province and all of a sudden the former was found to border Kanem Bornu.

137-mali.jpg

Muhammad, for one, welcomed his new aggressive neighbours with their large army.

Mali did not return the compliment.​

Indeed, down with Mali! Look at their flag, totally animist (even though they pretend to be Muslim)

What's going on with the black rivers? I'd understand if they were red, but black is too much :D I take you don't replace your gfx/river.fx file...
