The beginning: 4000BC - 2800BCA beautiful place to settle, we will do well here. This river delta area will give us vast amounts of potential food production. From this we can create a grand capitol city! Filled with every kind of specialist citizen.
Also there is cotton nearby, and gold to the west a way.
Quickly after settling our warrior acting as a scout finds another tribe, the Americans. We are not alone here it seems.
Our warrior scouts a small settlement.
We meet another tribe, the Songhai.
The capitol focuses on food gathering, to increase its population.
We have found a military city state, we must watch them closely.
Mining is researched! we can now dig for gold in our gold deposit!
We can now use animals to further our goals.
A city state close by, a tasty target to attack.
Our civilisation has developed along the lines of a 'honor' based society.
The Songhai want to be friends..... we don't know them well enough yet.
Barbarians are spotted! our warriors(who got upgraded to spearmen from a hut) chase them down and slaughter them.
Our gold mine is constructed soon after!
Currently our goals are to expand, get a new city up the river a bit. Preferably near some hills to work as a productive city for our empire.
