I order my 5 armies including the 7k one to Malindi
9 Jan – We win a minor naval battle
16 Jan – Another minor battle won
I capture a few light ships, I order them to berth in Tanga and restore themselves
22 Jan – Another battle won
1 Feb – We begin the Siege of Malindi with a fusillade
9 Feb – Kinga from Kilwa converts, just Mozambique left
14 Mar – Rebellion in Sale
17 April – Event – I choose to gain 50 MIL power rather than prestige
1 May – Offensive Idea #3 – Superior Firepower – Land Leader +1 fire
1 June – Coal in Highveld! I order a Furnace here
11 July – Event – Excellent Year – 10k Manpower gained
27 July – Mozambique converts, last one!
9 Oct – Event - Plague in Sharqiya – I spend more than 1k to help out
28 Dec – After almost a year, Malindi falls, I have a warscore of 49, next is their undefended capital of Lamu, a quick siege should occur
10 Feb, 1721 – Lamu fell in a month, warscore of 75% next is the Fortress of Pate where their army is.
Their navy flees to the Strait
22 Feb – We win the naval battle and captured 4 more ships I send to Tanga
28 Feb – We rout their army in Pate and gain 20 warscore
Can I get all three in peace forwards after getting 100 or should I just do two?
Peace for all three is 80, so this is doable with enough warscore
I begin the siege of Pate with a fusillade
1 April – New Tech!!!
DIP TECH 26 – The East Indiaman – We can build Great Frigates and East Indiaman
9 April – They have surrendered, their navy flees Pate, I have a 100 warscore:
I can get all three for 80 warscore and 57.5 badboy, no new coalitions just Kilwa and Somalia. I do peace.
I spend 131 on Malindi, 77 on Pate and 65 on Lamu, 119 ADM power left.
