Chapter Twenty - The Algiers Golden Age Begins


4 Jan, 1479 – I can start a Golden Age – Check it out here:



The Algiers Golden Age lasts 50 years with those benefits. Nice!

1 Mar – New Tech:

ADMIN TECH 7 – Renaissance Thought – I get…another group of ideas! What do I want to do?

I cannot take Dip ideas like Trade that gives us merchants and better ability to use them or Diplomatic with more diplomats. I could grab…

Admin Ideas:

Expansion
- And then get another colonist with the first Idea. It also gives me another merchant, and then a third colonist later. Right now no one is in Brazil so I could gobble that up while also expanding in Africa.

Admin Ideas – Admin has a bunch of boost for hiring merc, which I do most big wars. It also gets the ability to increase your governing capacity for states by +25%. That’s strong for a big expander like me.

Economic
– Helps many things to make more money.

Religion – Gives me two more Missionaries, Deus Vult to DOW any pagan and then better Missionary stuff, but I have boost with my government, idea, and Defender of the Faith, so this is less needed than others.

Military Ideas:

Quality – Since I have a low forcelimit, making my troops better make sense.

Quantity – Let’s raise my forcelimit and manpower.

Offensive or Defensive – Military boosts for armies.

All of those have value. I am leaning to Expansion, Economic and Admin. Faster and more colonists? Better mercs and stating? Better economy?

I do Expansion.

28 April – Exploration mission is done, next is Caribbean

2 July – Event – Marriageable Women in Beefada – pop there up 200

1 Aug – Ivory in Beefada, that was good

Exploration Idea #5 -Viceroys - +10% Global Tarriffs and -20% Envoy Travel Time

8k Rebellion in Tilimsan I have my army there

13 Aug – Defeated

18 Sept – Event – Dargah – I choose, it’s a bit big, here I’ll show you:



And I show you the one I am taking, and the benefits I get for 25 years.

28 Oct – Our diplomat in Morocco was discovered

1 Dec – Kairwan converts – next is Kasdir
