We Come In Peace*
An Ashanti AAR
* Because Little Brown Men just seemed inappropriate
An Ashanti AAR
* Because Little Brown Men just seemed inappropriate
Why play the Ashanti? Well, if we look at their flag, we can clearly see that they must be the children of Aliens and as such have some kind of hidden superpowers. (I sure hope magic combat dice are one of them)
The game will be played with IN 3.2b at very hard difficulty, all options normal except random lucky nations and I’ll edit the appropriate event to get out of the tribal gov to require 2 centralization/innovation instead of decentralization/narrowminded (which I believe is a bug in 3.2b)
The goal is to survive early game until we get European neighbors. Once we have contact, the goal will be even more to survive, and of course to westernize and reform the government so we can start the game.
Eventually, I want to unite Africa. Those wimpy, temperate Europeans can't use it anyway.
