What can I get?
Horn of Africa:
Qardho – Wartarget – Coastal, connects Hafun and Garoowe – 9 warscore, 14.0 badboy
Togdheer – Inland, last Horn of Africa holding – west of Qardho – 9 warscore, 7.3 badboy
That’s all of it.
North Flank:
Ankober – Eastern flank of section – 5 score, 2.1 badboy
Hadiya – Southeastern corner of section - 10 warscore, 6.8 badboy
Shewa – Connects Ankober and Hadiya -7 warscore, 4.6 badboy
Janjiro – Southwestern corner of area – 5 warscore, 1.7 badboy
Wollo – North of Ankober and Shewa – 5 warscore, 3.0 badboy
Gonder – North and West of Wollo, connects Dembiya and Lasta – 8 warscore, 5.5 badboy
Semien – Northern section of Flank – 8 warscore, 4.6 badboy
That’s all of the North Flank and then we have 66 warscore.
What can I get from the West Flank?
West Flank:
Gezira – Easternmost Section of West flank – 8 warscore, 4.8 badboy
Waylula – West of Gezira, east of El Obeid – 6 warscore, 2.5 badboy
That’s 80, can I get a throw in?
Tegali – South of El Obeid, Waylula, east of Kobbe – Throw In – 5 warscore, 2.5 badboy
There we are!
We are at 85 warscore and 59.4 badboy, and only Somalia cares! I do peace and spend ADM equal to 354 for these 12. That removes Somalia from the Horn of Africa, and only a handful of Western flank remain behind.
Ready?
Horn of Africa:
Qardho – Wartarget – Coastal, connects Hafun and Garoowe – Arid Coastal Desert, Somali and Sunni, 2.77 made, 29 dev, Counting House, Training Fields, Grand Shipyard and Great Mosque, Con Center, Town Hall,
Togdheer – Inland, last Horn of Africa holding – west of Qardho – Somali and Sunni, Arid Highlands, 15 dev, Trade Station for Slaves, which will be randomized, and Counting House, Con Center, .023 made here
North Flank:
Ankober – Eastern flank of section – Farm Estate for Grain, Con Center, Mountains, Oromo Fetishists, 5 de, 0.35
Hadiya – Southeastern corner of section - Also Mountains, also not Arid, Farm Estate for Grain, Counting House, Con Center, 16 dev, Oromo and Sunni making 0.23
Shewa – Connects Ankober and Hadiya – Fortress, Farm Estate for Grain, Con Center, Mountains, 11 dev, Amhara, Coptic, 0.39 made here
Janjiro – Southwestern corner of area – Also the random Slaves with a Trade Station and Con Center, also Mountains 4 dev and Sidano Coptics making 0.07
Wollo – North of Ankober and Shewa – Amhara, Coptic, Mountains,
Farm Estate for Grain, Con Center, 7 dev making 0.42
Gonder – North and West of Wollo, connects Dembiya and Lasta – Emporium, Fortress, Con Center, Stock Exchange, Highlands, 13 dev, Amhara Coptic, Grain, makes 0.50

Tegali – South of El Obeid, Waylula, east of Kobbe – Throw In – 7 dev, Arid Steppes, Coptic and Nubian, Con Center and Fortress, Livestock, makes 0.25
As you can see that’s pretty low value stuff and low dev. We only did it here since we had the big warscore, and this was a peace where I took stuff next to you. There are only 6 Somalia holdings left, enough for one more war to bring them in, but we are out of time.
