What do I want?
Zazzou –
Zamfara – Capital, West of us in Katsina – Wartarget – 15 badboy, 11 warscore
Kebbi – West of Zamfara – 9 score, 3 badboy
That’s 20 score and 17.4 badboy
What can I grab from Air too? These are twice as pricey
Air:
The only good one next to me is their capital Kanem can I get it?
Kanem – 40 score, 15 badboy – SE of Kewar, next to Somalia
Manga – West of Kanem – 20 score, 11 badboy
Total –
80 warscore and 43.5 badboy
I peace it up and spend 108 coring
Zazzou:
Zamfara – Capital, West of us in Katsina – Wartarget – Grain, Savannah, Farm Estate, Bastion, Great Mosque, 14 dev, Hausa and Shia, makes 0.38, Tropical
Kebbi – West of Zamfara – Also Grain – Tropical Savannah, 9 dev, Hausa and Shia, Workshop and Mosque, makes 0.15
Air:
Kanem – Former Capital - SE of Kewar, next to Somalia – Rich Paper made here – Mill, Trade Depot, Workshop, Cot Emporium, makes us 0.44, Arid Steppes,16 dev, Kanuri and Sunni
Manga – West of Kanem – Throw in – Also Kanuri and Sunni, Steppes and Arid, Farm Estate for Livestock and Workshop 9 dev, makes us 0.54.
One great grab from Air, and then just land from the other three.
I’ll want to build a Star Fort in Kanem as soon as I can
