I'm going to sub. Ditch the tribal government, they'd ditch you if it was the other way around.

Definitely go for a Noble Republic, that's much better, or so I think. Anyway, keep up the brilliant work, this is :awsm:!
Oyo is still alive I hope? The fun was just getting started
Everything's fine and well in the lands of Oyo! I thought I'd get back to updating when I didn't have school to worry about, but apparently people expect you to be outside and actually meet people during the summer. Oh well, I'm currently visiting my parents and I got some spare time, update inbound.
I looked through my screenshots, and apparently I played ahead quite a few years without reforming the government. I don't have any memory of doing this, but since I survived I guess I didn't suffer too much from it.
Christian missionaries once again enter our lands. We once again send them back to Europe. What a backwards place Europe must be. We are much more tolerant.
14th November, 1520, 300 ducats are gifted to the state.
Songhai is annexed.
3rd May, 1522, Castille once again erects a colony in Trarza, which the natives burns to the ground. We had nothing to do with it.
21th November, 1522, 333 ducats are gifted to the state.
Kanem Bornu is annexed.
We chose Quest for the new world as our next national idea. Time to get all imperialist in this bitch.
Castille declares war again.
And this time they bring some friends.
They wont sit idle this time.
I don't really know how this happened. Either the pig god guided our soldiers hands, or Castille forgot to turn up the army maintenance.
The Egyptian slave-traders want in on the game.
Castille lands more troops and takes control of Wolof.
We engage their army and win another battle.
Their army is routed and destroyed at the settlement in Trarza, which we seize control of.
They manage to take it back afterwards though. We also learn quite a bit about their weapons and tactics, which will make it easier for us to counter their forces.
Another battle is fought, once again with a decisive victory by the Oyo army.
Seriously, I have no idea how I can manage these wipes.
After a few more battles, we send one of our best spies to infiltrate the court in Toledo. He had a great disguise, and it baffles us how he managed to get caught.
12th of April, 1526, white peace is signed with the Mamluks.
27th of May, 1526, Zamfara adopts Yorumba culture.
We advance further north, but are later forced to retread when Domingo de Nebrija lands with more troops in Trarza.
The Spaniard army in Arguin is too strong for our forces, so we offer a concession of defeat. because we totally lost this war guys
We acquired a lot of knowledge about their army and fortification built in the Castilian parts of North Africa, and will use it to improve our own forts.
After recovering from the war the pig-god wants us to expand our colonial efforts. Said and done, we send our explorer Oranyan Ezinwa on a trip to the south.
After reaching the Cape the pig-god wants us to venture further into the depths of south Africa.
Unfortunately it seems like the English have taken control of Congolese lands. We will have to do something about that eventually.
After our high elder passes away, this guy takes office.

I took Trarza, but they stationed more than 30k troops in Arguin so I ended the war. I was already at war with Castille, Austria, Hungary and Burgundy, and I was afraid England might've declared if I stayed in it any longer.
Did those wipes happen in the first fight? Perhaps armies can't retreat to unknown territory and that why they wiped. The first battle pic your troops had a clear advantage though. a 4 shock general versus no general balances tech quite a bit.
Just waiting for the guns to start blazing from Oyo. Good job surviving a proper war with Castille. Now to get all those Fort 2's erected. Oh, and reform the government already
Are provinces still seizable if you build a fort? I know its bount to religion, but it would become weird at some point..
your general helped a lot. General vs no General on your own land (Cayor) might cause the wiping.
Maybe they were up for Gold. I very often see colonial wars played like that by the AI. Colonies are always seized quickly, but provinces not that much.
Yeah the AI has a tendency to want to extract loads of wealth rather than seize the land. Usually they block off sea access by taking those territories then extract all the wealth they can. Once that dries up, full annexation follows.
Your update has more than 20 images; please edit to remove the extra images. Remember, it is 20 images per hour.
Yeah, you need to take little by little, or they will gang up on you.
I have a game with Benin, in which I'm further along and took north Africa as well, but I'm constantly in wars with half of European majors. At some point I had wars with England, Portugal, Castille, France, Ottomans, Mamuluks, Naples, Austria and various minors they had as allies/vassals.
So expect constant DoWs from all bigguns. Even with 3 times bigger army than Castille and them not bordering me anymore since I took all their colonies, and they still attack me right on the clock.
Well, the Colonial Conquest CB IS a juicy one, and I believe as long as you remain pagan they get to keep it. And the AI sure love CB-validated wars.
Sounds like time for you to invade them
I've invaded them few times to force them to give up their colonies in Africa, but only interested in conquering Africa, not going to take anything elsewhere.
