Tuesday Screenshot – Someone Got Lost On Their Way To The War
Sometimes you get something just… weird.
My Shoshone were allied with some militant city-states, and among the units ‘gifted’ to me were a unit of Norwegian Ski Infantry. The disconnect of Shoshone Norwegian Ski Infantry in the plain of Shoshonia was just too amusing.

Last time we planted a city where we could piss of the maximum number of people. This time? Just trying not get into another war.
The Brits. Always the Brits
They keep pushing units right up to my borders, and then backing away. You’d almost think they’re being run by some bald weenie named “Vlad” or something.
My folks are not Happy
And looking into it, it appears to be mainly driven by population. I can’t stop my Boers from birthin’ babies, but I can try to distract them with luxury goods and entertainment buildings. Hey – it’s been working for the US for 50 years now!

With the Zulus vanquished, it’s time to get down to some serious plowing. Of fields, Starfury, of fields.

The Zulus weren’t bothering to farm the fertile fields, so I’m doing it.

The Boers are starting to put their stamp on Africa, and trying not to get squeezed in the process.
Developing the other culture track
Very short scenario = limited cultural development, so there aren’t many degrees of freedom here to pick from.
As Long As We’re Being Cultured
We’ll cut into the cost of future policies, while simultaneously adding culture-producing buildings.

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!
