Trib, isn't it a bit early for even mini-catapults? I mean, the first recorded use was by the Greeks, in 400 BCE.

Also, where in Somalia does one obtain bronze?

Wow, tht long?
K, how about just nailed to-the-deck slingshots?
Fo bronze, eame way with back-in-da-day iron: meteorites, washed up clumps, and sometimes places just jave a tiny clump, like an ounce or somethin, of a metal.
Also, my people dont have alot, like enough for about 120 out of 1200 militia to have it at all.
Also, m in te monin o my spellib is completley off because my mind nnnn isnt awawk.a

Yep. Catapults were basically a development of the primitive Greek crossbow, a dart-throwing engine.

Also, meteors don't carry tin. At least, not to my knowledge. And Somalia doesn't have tin or arsenical bronze.

Also, why and how do you build too-big-to-be-useful-ships?

[Reatra]

You might build one to be a flagship because it's cool.

But that's it.

[Al-Ahkri]

But that's it.

That doesn't explain
1) why you built them
2) how
3) where did you the get materials and time to build these into working models capable of holding and transporting supplies?
4) where did you get the idea?
5) how the are powered
6)wtf

Meh, I'm not readying that last page. I'm in a bad mood today

And G-Tech, I got 40k since I'm a kingdom, not just a city anymore.

Ah, so you've annexed other tribes?

40k people?

[Al-Ahkri]

40k people?

40,000. As of 2100, my population is 42,000

[Alouite]

40k people?

40,000. As of 2100, my population is 42,000

That is pretty damn high!

[Al-Ahkri]

Sail powered.
Also, forgot to mention: They collapse sometimes, killing everyone. Its kind of slow. In fact, i was just due for a new type of boat after the Wardeme.

Also, Gtech, alot of our metal irl came originally from meteors.
Therefore, most likely they aint gonna stop after humans start settlin.

I'm supposed to believe you built a massive sail before you thought of rowers? Nope.

Meh

Kinda like the rent is to this political party in New York

[Al-Ahkri]

Meh

Not at all. I have a large area, very little competition, and very large harvests and an abundant food supply

That... isn't exactly accurate, unless you know something I don't. As far as I'm aware, a lot of our early iron before the advent of bloomeries came from meteoric iron, and a small percentage of our crustal nickel is from meteorite impacts, but neither copper nor tin are known particulates of such impacts. At least, not in non-negligible quantities.

Sailing is more reasonable, though propelling a battle-barge would be very iffy with sails. The earliest known depiction of sails was in around 5500 BCE, so it's quite sensible to assume we have them. Not the sails of galleases and caravels, but sails.

Well, not much larger than other river basins.

And even absorbing other smaller tribes, a two thousand percent increase in a period of five hundred percent increases seems rather far-fetched, unless you've been gobbling up minor civilizations like a madman.

Mindfuck. I thought that move was deleted...
Still, small clumps washed in from the ocean, tiny rocks of it, and maybe some trade with Red Sea areas if they have it.

2000 percent?

Also, if my name has to be shortened because youre a lazy apple sauce, roast beef Tribz.

[Bujahla]

Wait, I can't tell if the size question was directed at me or someone else (Al-A) but here goes:

1. Nile very populous
2. United the nile like IRL did
3. Peoples
4. Yeah.

The Kelmos who took over Tinim back in 6000 came from the SEA. The Kelmos Culture is actually based on the Sea.
