Thrivers scramble for Africa!

Warsangali it is, then.

Also, how will the gameplay work?

[Animalia (Matti)]

You basically do whatever you want and I roll a dice to see how effective said action(s) are. I then edit the map to what you did.

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

On the Somali coast, who are the red and green lands? Also, you said uniting the coast might require waging war. But against who? The colonizers or other African nations?

[IronOrganism]

I’ll join as Portugal; no one has selected it yet, but it’s quite an interesting choice, at least to me.

Well you don’t have to unite the coast if you don’t want to. The game is basically a free for all, you can attack other african nations or european powers.

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

I think I’d only attack if I’m getting attacked. Anyway, will there be perks that we can unlock to boost some of our rolls? Like in Thrive Odyssey? In addition, are there NPC nations not marked on the map?

I presume the “empty” areas might also put up some resistance?

[Animalia (Matti)]

There are tribes in the unclaimed areas which you can steamroll through if you’re a european power but will take some effort if you’re a native african nation (unless your european overlord decides to give you weapons or something).

Yes.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Also I presume the hold of some colonizers on their colonized will differ (so for instance the ottomans would have a weaker hold on egypt/libya vs france have a stronger one on algeria)?

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

Oh and another thang (hawk tuah and spit on that thang!)!

To unite or federate with other nations, I suppose I should improve my relations with them?

So i will take over him /j

I will take the Geledi

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Well the other option is called conquest I believe

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

Nice to have a neighbour. Would you mind if we joined our efforts to unite the coast (kind of like the EU)?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

How would 2 players ruling one nation work like?

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

It would probably be a system of votes for decision making.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Or each player gets 1 vote for the nation ig

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

Would Saudi Arabia try to colonize Africa?

[Animalia (Matti)]

@aah31415

Well you can only have one player per nation unless you decide to federate. If one player is a puppet nation and the other is the master then the master can veto out any decisions the vassal/colony makes unless the colony’s roll is higher than the master, in which case a rebellion can form.

[blackjacksike (𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖐𝖆𝖗𝖉)]

Federating would be like the EU, right?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I’d think it would be this vote sharing thing or “voting for votes to cast”
