24 Jan – A minor falls
7 Mar – Four more fall
23 Mar – Quelimane falls and that’s the last mainland holding of Kilwa! I have a warscore of 88, what can I net?
South Kilwa:
Manyika – Wartarget, South Kilwa – 4 score, 3 badboy
Tete – Northwest of Manyika, east of us – 6 warscore and 3 badboy
Sena – Northeast of Manyika, east of Tete – 9 warscore, 6 badboy
Lolo – North of Sena -5 warscore and 2 badboy
Lundu – Northwest of Sena, east of us, Lolo - 7 score, 5 badboy
I cannot get any others without annoying Kilwa like Quelimane
Central Kilwa:
Tumbuka – East of us, west coast of Lake Malawi – 6 warscore and 3 badboy
I cannot get Kolonga that connects it with Lundu and Lolo
North Kilwa:
Mzizma – Coastal, south of Bagamoyo, north of Kilwa’s capital – 4 warscore, 3 badboy
That’s everything I can get without dialing in a coalition with Kilwa:
Since the Mamluks are dead, no coalitions from anyone. I zoomed into my cash so you can see how much I am spending and making monthly. 24.2 badboy and 41 warscore.
I do the peace agreement. I spend ADM of 131 to core all seven. These are all pretty nice trade good and mostly low dev.
South Kilwa:
Manyika – Wartarget, South Kilwa – Star Fort, Trade Station for Ivory, I destroy the Star Fort it’s internal and not on the border, Shona people, Fetishist faith, 6 dev, Highlands, not tropical, makes 0.11
Tete – Northwest of Manyika, east of us – COT Emporium, 5 dev, Ivory Trade, Trade Station, Workshop, Savannah, tropical, Shona and Fetishist making us 0.32
Sena – Northeast of Manyika, east of Tete – Shona and Fetishist, 10 dev, Ivory Trade, Tropical Savannah, Conscription Center , Workshop and Trade Station making 0.91
Lolo – North of Sena - Just 3 dev, Ivory here too, Nyasa Fetishist, Tropical Savannah, Trade Station and Workshop, 0.50 made
Lundu – Northwest of Sena, east of us, Lolo – Textile Manufactory for the wealthy Cloth and Workshop, Tropical Savannah, Nyasa Fetishist, 8 dev making us 0.61
Central Kilwa:
Tumbuka – East of us, west coast of Lake Malawi – Throw In – Tropical Savannah, Gems, Mill and Workshop, 6 dev, Nyasa and Fetishist. Making .49
North Kilwa:
Mzizma – Coastal, south of Bagamoyo, north of Kilwa’s capital – Another throw in – Coastline, Tropical, Gems, Mill, Shipyard, 3 dev, Swahili Fetishist making us 0.30
Low dev but all 7 are worth at least 3.0 (Gems) and Cloth and Ivory are very wealthy, and with the built p infrastructure, even a 3 dev one is making that cash.
