Recalibrating

1 July - Our naval tech increases. We also learned about Scandinavian provinces.

1 August - Our trade tech increases.

I destroy the Gobir COT. I send merchants to the Timbuktu COT.

July 29 - We now have five merchants in the Timbuktu COT. No other country has any.

2 Oct - We get an event - al-Amin Ouedraogo. He has revolutionized sieges and fortificatioons, wars and fortifications. We get a choice:

His Efforts Will be Admired Troughout the Nation - +2 stability, extra Land tech investment for six years.
His Reputations Will Reach Further Than our Borders - Gain Prestige, same Land tech investment.

I choose the first. Our stability immediately jumps to 0. Lucky we got that now and not six months ago.

Nov 23 - Rebellion in Bonny, Ashanti Nationalists are reaering their heads.

March 1, 1456 - We lost in Bonny. The rebels begin a siege.

March 14 - We have an Animist rebellion in Bambuk.

April 2 - We enjoin battle with the rebels near Bambuk in Wolof.

Apr 19 -0 We lost in Wolof and the rebels are besieging us.

May 2 - Our forces arrive in both Wolof and Bonny to protest rebel actions there.

May 14 - A group of rebels in Wolof joins their brothers already fighting me.

May 26 - We fortify Kano and now they ask for us to do the same in Jenne and I agree.

June 1 - Looks like Castille has lost her colony in Trarza.

July 4 - I retreat in Wolof because our army in Cayor is arriving.

July 23 - We win in Bonny.

Sept 1 - We win in Wolof.

Sept 29 - We win in Cayor when the rebels retreat. They head for Trarza.

Oct 3 - Government tech increased. Time for our first National Idea.


Options:

We take Colonial Ventures to start making colonists. No need Quest for New World yet, just needed for making of explorers, conquisatodrs, and increases colonial range by 50%. It requires Trade Tech 7 anyway.

We could snag Bureaucracy for a +5% tax modifier.

National Bank could really help our inflation problem. (Inflation is 8%).

Military Drill +1 Morale of Armies. Very nice.



I decide to go with Colonial Ventures to expand in Africa.


Jan 1, 1457 - Stability increase
