With some post-Zulu consolidation on going, it’s time for the Boers to get more shovels into the ground and start rebuilding the cities they conquered.
Because we’re (not) happyyyyyyyyyyy
I guess fighting a war annoys the population. Hmmmm…
Launching a Caravan
Sokoto wants me to connect a trade route to them. I’ve got a caravan ready to launch that can reach Sokoto. Sounds good to me!

Last episode, we sent Shaka packing like Duke in the first round of the NCAAs against a double-digit seed. Now it’s time to start digging holes, planting crops, and raking in the (agri)culture.
Ulundi is mine
And all those Portuguese dudes meandering about can’t have it… any time soon.

Last session we promised to help the Portuguese give the Zulus the smackdown they so richly deserve. However, before we do that, there’s intrigue afoot.
Lay of the Land
I’ve got a garrisoned citadel right there where it’s going to really suck for the Zukes if they come after Bloemfonten. But they’ve got a lot of firespearpower around Umgungundlovulongtime that I’ll have to contend with.
Friends Everywhere!
The Belgians have now cut a Declaration of Friendship with the Portuguese, and pretty much no one likes the Zulus. Maybe they should switch deodorant and see if that helps. Probably not, eh?
