Late July 1910

Some time has passed since your visit of Zanzibar, now in German possession. Since then you managed to secure the middle section of the Juba river and now the next natural adversary we have is the Malindi sultanate. Perhaps this time the Germans may rethink the offer to attack them on both sides. Together with the emissary, you send a few Brits who can actually speak German and in case some pirates decide to attack the sailship off the Kenyan coast.
Few days after the departure of the emissary, some kind of brawl has occurred in the outskirts of Kismayo. The participants were all natives, no one was killed but it raised the tensions between the different families in the area. From what you could gather, it was some land dispute following the rapid land handouts in 1909. As both sides were from different Somali clans, they follow different interpretations of the native law known as “xeer”. So the dispute turned physical. Fortunately they settled after some other family clan court agreed to mediate and some livestock was exchanged to compensate for the injured men and land re-assignment between them. The sour taste although, remains. (+3% native unrest)
(From roll of 2)

A week and a half later of nothing of notice in the colony, the emissary returns. First thing you notice is that the boat is as full as it departed, apparently the British there have picked up plantation management jobs on the islands and some in the German ran areas, better luck after 6 months when some of them are sick of hearing German speech or when their plantations fail.
(From roll of 1)

The negotiations on the other hand went better than the last time. Our success against the Dervish affiliated Bimaal clan, has made the Germans reconsider you as a potential strategic partner. Although they do not agree on attacking Mombasa, as their plans including countering the Kilwa Sultanate that has taken control of south Tanganyika. Their offer consists of sending you 70 askaris and 5 officers, to form a combined unit to attack Malindi from the north, together.
Maxim guns and field howitzers will not be provided as from their report the bulk of the (soon to be) enemy forces is at Mombasa, also the hardware will be needed for their Kilwa operation. They do not demand any objectives be met, other than distracting their forces and of course not losing the entire expeditionary force.
(From roll of 4)

You think for a bit should you accept their offer and march in first, even with the substantial reinforcements.

>Lets go! What we take is ours to hold and if we strike a decent enough blow or wait long enough, the Germans will be done with Kilwa and strike from the south.

>Turn the offer down. Such an operation would require a lot of our men that are currently occupied with garrison duty.

>Counter-offer them, propose to send some men to them, to fight against Kilwa. When Kilwa is done for, then assault Malindi on both sides.

>>4241243
So the implication is that the counter offer requires fewer British troops involved and taken away from garrisoning towns?

>>4241255
Yes.

>>4241259
we should do that then

>>4241243
>>Counter-offer them, propose to send some men to them, to fight against Kilwa. When Kilwa is done for, then assault Malindi on both sides.

August 1910

You know the Germans are rather, patient. By the time you send them the message you accept, by the time they send the men and organize the operation … its going to be October probably. For the course back to Zanzibar, you send 50 men aboard the sailship, 40 askaris and 10 Europeans. With them you send the few dhows you have, one for the emissary that will relay the German response to your idea. The rest will carry dried fish and grain to ease the raised supply requirements…

When the emissary returns about a dozen days later, he is a bearer of good news. The Germans agreed and took our men and supplies with open arms. Same goes for the naval transport we brought, that means that the reinforcements can be rapidly deployed south of the Rufiji delta without delaying their operation.
(From roll of 6)

A day later, the news that 50 men will be absent for at least a month, reached the more … uncooperative elements in Bardera, which in turn started a riot. It is unclear what their demands are, but the garrison of 20 has had to bunker down in the small fortification that was captured from Bimaal.
(From roll of 1)

To top it off, we can not send reinforcements as fast as possible using the river with the few boats that have returned, as the Juba river is unusually low in the upper areas leading to Bardera. Farthest they can reach is Jilib.
(From roll of 2)

The city of Bardera is no longer under our control. The small fortification is not supplied to stand a long siege, the ten besieged men have supplies for a month, maybe two as it at least has a water well. How to proceed, we have 35 European soldiers and 15 Askaris.

>Wait it out, when our men return from Tanganyika, then we strike. The besieged men might make it, might not.

>What do those peasants want? We already told them they are exempt from taxation for this year … gather the men, we are going on a punitive expedition.

>Not worth it, send a message that if they release the men and they all return in one piece, we will not attack them … Merca already has plans for them.

Late August 1910

For some time you consider letting Bardera go if they release our men. Merca would surely teach them of our superior ways by showing the rebels what real oppression is. Alas, you can not let them go without a fight. You rally a force of 20 Europeans and 15 Askaris. Even if the Juba river is at low level, you can at least cover half the distance by water.
You depart in haste, no time to gather many supplies and hire porters, they will only slow you down. Last time speed was the determining factor when capturing the settlements upstream. Unfortunately this time, we do not have spots along the way with minor caches.You will lead by example and join the men.
The point where you disembark is where you expected, north of Jilib
(From roll of 3)

Even though it is not the height of the dry season, it is exceptionally hot that week. Not only the Juba river is low but some of the wells in the area have dried up, and probably won’t fill up until the next rain season. The rapid temp of movement, the heat and the water shortage is taking its toll on the men. Especially now when they are mostly Europeans. They may be with significantly less stamina when we arrive, but slowing down and taking an extra day might hurt us more.

Upon arriving at the Bardera outskirts, the soldiers are rather beat up from the weather conditions but can hold a rifle the correct way.
An angry crowd has gathered along the buildings, holding sticks, clubs and some swords can be seen. You order the men to group into a wide line and fix bayonets. You begin advancing slowly towards the buildings, the crowd only gets more and more agitated. When the distance closes to 50 meters, it is clear that the crowd will not back down as some rocks are thrown your way. You order the men to stop, aim and fire a single volley. It has mixed effect, some rioters are hit and fall to the ground, some run away, some charge you. “Fire at will” you shout, while taking aim with your revolver. Another volley hits the charging men, then another and what is left of them that had closed the distance receives a bayonet thrust to the chest.
As the charge attack has been defeated, you give the order to advance rapidly into the town and pacify it. Shots ring from the hillside, not a muzzleloader but a repeater rifle. And you are not the target, our besieged men have taken the initiative.
(From roll of 3)
Few hours of rooting out individual gangs and sorting out who is who in the town, as certainly not all natives were onboard with the insurrection, the town is fully pacified. Or at least it seems so. You will spend a day or two to recover the strength that the heat sapped away from you, and deal with the town before you go back to the capital.
What to do with the rebel prisoners we took?

>Execute them, we could not have possibly caught all of the guilty ones, let’s teach them the lesson of what happens when you rebel after a helping hand was given out to you.
>Round them up, we need them alive. Merca will gladly toss a coin or two per head. Maybe ship them to the Italians for a better price.

Why? Its not like they stop being mad or angry, all we teach them is that rebelling just means being kicked out of town.

>>4242977
We beat them once, we can beat them again. Selling them into slavery is just going to cause further problems and alienate potentially loyal natives.

>>4242979
And kicking them out so they can spread unrest where ever they go won't?

They likely will join up with our enemies or future enemies when given the chance.

>>4242985
Spread unrest where? The desert? They won't be coming back to lands we control and a handful of discontent africans won't exactly turn the tides in favor of any enemy who takes them in.

>>4242990
The town they are getting booted out from? Unless we kick out their families too.
Whichever group that will take them or previous people we have fought with and are at odds with.

September 1910

After a tedious debate with yourself, wondering what to do with the lowlifes you captured, you decide that letting another batch of Bimaal loyalists go unharmed is too much. Besides the coffers are empty and there are certainly buyers for such “goods”. The Europeans don’t protest over the measure, after all it was the locals who started this and we don’t exactly have a prison. The natives on the other hand are not thrilled to witness such measures. After all some of them are glad it’s us in control and not some ironfisted warlord. That action, combined with the revolt, raised the dissent among the Somalis (native unrest +6%, now 25% … not good)
(From roll of 1)

Returning with the prisoners at Kismayo, you are greeted with some curious looks. Explaining your decision in front of the Europeans was rather uneasy, but after reminding them that they were ready to hang and gut the besieged troops, you got approving nods from most of them. The prisoners were … well … imprisoned in the basement of the town hall. Not perfect conditions for them to spend a week or so, but no other option is available. Few days pass while you do your best to keep them well fed, whoever you are going to offer them to, is going to want them healthy. As you were getting worried about the sanitary problems in the basement, the expeditionary force returns…
The men disembark from the ship tired, but with a smile on their faces, the Europeans at least. Ten askaris did not return. They were killed in action. Their rifles were collected and returned though.
While you sit and prepare the table to have a talk with the officer who was in charge of the expedition, the rest of the men start to unload some shipment from the cargo hold.

The officer explains the German planning of the operation. Long story short, our men were kept as auxiliary force while the Germans in their usual overconfidence positioned mobile Maxim gun teams under the cover of three 75mm field guns and about 300 infantrymen. Initially the operation was going well, until the enemy deployed a captured Maxim gun that mowed the first line of German askaris and pinned down the rest while the field guns were trying to zero in the position of the machine gun. Then our men were given the order to hit the flank, distract the enemy and give the Germans a chance to counterattack. Our men fulfilled the task just right. Although they were barely in range of the machine gun, peppering bursts hit them and forced many men to seek cover in the bush. Some enemy forces were then relocated in the sector of our men and gave them a rather hard time. While the advance our men was pinned down, it proved vital … the enemy men relocated to counter our flanking thrust, weakened them in the German sector, their field guns launched a rapid barrage with the last of their allocated rounds to support the German charge. And the charge threw the enemy lines in disarray, they thought our flanking attack was not a distraction, but the main thrust … and once the real attack hit them, they scattered. The town of Kilwa was seized… pardon … liberated, by the Germans. And the maxim gun recaptured of course.
(From roll of 4)

Our German partners relayed their gratitude for providing them with well trained and disciplined troops. Even that you think they were used as bait and cannon fodder, the Germans acted quickly enough to avoid unneeded casualties on our side … you let it slip, you’d probably use their forces the same way in the case they were provided to you for actions against Malindi.
What surprised you is that the gratitude was not only vocal but also material. The package that the men have brought back included not only the guns of the fallen askaris, but extra ammo for the Henry-Martini rifles we use and a crate of cotton seeds we can use to start up a plantation. Even when you are happy with the acquisition of such agricultural goods able to grow in arid climate, you can’t help but wonder why didn’t you ask for such earlier, after all you saw their plantations when you visited Zanzibar earlier this year.

Late September 1910

You reconsider the rather rash decision to sell the prisoners as sl… laborers. Instead you have the splendid idea to begin your own penal colony, on your own islands. No need to sail through the whole Indian ocean to drop them off in Australia when some of the Bajuni islands are uninhabited.
You place the offer to the prisoners, it consists of sending them on an island with basic tools and regular food shipments. It won’t hurt if they construct some shacks that would later be used by the fishermen. After their job is done, they will join the fishermen and work for a year or two before they are either sent back to their families, or they bring them on the islands. Reactions are mixed and some refuse to take it, for them… well they board the first arab boat and are to be dropped off somewhere far away. In general, the decision is viewed favorably from the natives but maybe it came a bit late… (native unrest -3%)
(From roll of 3)
(Roll of 4 does not trigger any event)
Now after the matter of the prisoners is closed, you have some time to fill until the Germans send military forces and return our favor.

I think we need to find a way to lower unrest rather then safari any ideas?

>>4245129
We kind of have to let our men have a break, can't overwork them. Maybe if we hunt some game, give it to the natives. Free food = lower unrest

>>4245129
If >>4245078 wouldn't mind a write up, sending a representative to our constituent towns to find out what the natives actually need could be a good idea. However, with such an empty treasury we'd have to wait until the next harvest to act on it. Otherwise, letting the troops rest and keep order in the towns while our treasury recovers would be wise.

Early October 1910

All the matters with the expeditions all over the place left you a little bit … let sat burdened. A tour in the nature would certainly alleviate the stress levels.
As in previous tours, you take no more than five troops and five porters. You know it’s the dry season and the big game is not in the area, but in search of richer pastures south. Nevertheless, you want the tour.
You head southwest as usual. Walking day after day in the blistering heat and dry shrubbery. You don’t see anything worth shooting, other than few scurvy hyenas looking for corpses. After day five it was pretty clear it was time to head back, but you were looking for at least one trophy of … not a hyena. Supplies were already low but you pressed the men for one more day.
(From roll of 1)

Even on the extra day, not even hyenas were present in your surroundings. The heat was already beating up the men, but now the water started to run out as the unusually dry summer had sapped some of the wells you knew about. On the way back that took six days, two of those you spent being carried by the porters. Your vigor was no match for the forces of nature and you succumbed to dehydration. You will recover just fine with enough rest in the shade, but it’s not exactly the rest you wanted…

Late October 1910

Few days after you recovered from the botched safari expedition, two small German sailships arrive, each carrying 30 men. Fifty of them askari, and ten Europeans.
After the greetings and the quick tour of the city with the white officers, you sit to discuss and plan the operation. It is clear that capturing Lamu may be impossible, depending on the size of the Malindi forces in the area. Therefore you both agree that you should start with Kamboni, located on a small cape 100km north from Lamu. You gave the idea some thought previously and propose a few courses of action based on the ships we have to sail to an island in the Bajuni chain, camp for day and then mount an attack from the sea using the small boats you have to land on the mainland.

>Disembark as close as possible to Kamboni to use the element of surprise, downside is that not all men will make it in the first wave as we don’t have enough small boats

>Do not risk it, disembark 15-20km north, organize properly and then march in

>Be more stealthy, place the unload point up a day’s worth of walking. We can’t leave them any chance they take the initiative and use it against us, even if it means slight fatigue before our attack.

And with that, the only thing left to decide is how many men to send. We have 100 in total, and at this complicated point in time it’s good to have at least 30 doing garrison duty.

>Take 30 with you, can’t let another riot get to us while we are away.

>Take 50 with you, the Germans might get annoyed we are going to let them do all the work and then take credit for the whole operation

>Take all 70 available, with a force like this, supply may be a bit strained but if things work out fine in Kamboni, we may be able to advance south.

Usually its the lack of women in colonies (for months to years) that makes military men ... lustful for more available flesh. I know the Anglos looked down upon these acts but I can assure you the Teutons dont have such qualms about spreading their seed and Italians, well, they are worse than the Portugese in this regard. A mulatto underclass makes a perfect pool for administrative functions to oversee swarthy colonies, as the purebloods dont trust them fully to completely fraternize and the mixes usually have more sense.

Take 70 men. Impress the krauts. And do a Slow and steady advance overland, we have the better equipment.
Perhaps we can entice them in a pitched battle.
Night assaults and commando manouvres only heighten the chances of falling into a musket and sword ambush.

Early November 1910

As the time for crops harvesting nears, you are occupied with other affairs. Like where and how to attack Kamboni. After you spent a day weighing in your options, you decide on taking 50 men with you and together with the Germans to attack Kamboni straight from the sea. As you know you lack enough boats to bring all the men ashore in a reasonable amount of waves, you hire some fishing boats to aid you in the transportation. In order to not spend three days at sea or so, first you are going to sail along the Bajuni islands and use them as camps along the coastline in order for the men to get enough rest.

The plan works well initially, you join the men to boost morale and provide adequate leadership from the front. The men are in high spirits and in good cooperation. The Germans especially are highly impressed by your decision to lead the action personally, as they would expect a governor to not sleep with the common soldiers aboard a ship on a military expedition, or in the same camp as them. Little do they know how boring it is to be a military man stuck on a desk duty you think …

The time has come, Kamboni is getting closer and closer. You scan the shore and give the order to the small fleet to sail towards the northern beach. The sandy coastline reaches as far as your eyes can see. This provides much available area to disembark on, but no cover from the rough winds that are common on this side of the ocean. And today, is especially windy.

The first boats near the coastline, the beach looks empty, the men row full force towards the sands, some shots echo from Kamboni to your left. Not many and sporadic shots, but shots nonetheless. The first two boats were heading too much to the side and too fast and tipped over due to the large waves. Others took note and straightened their approach. As the first of our men set foot on the beach, they headed to the bush to avoid sitting in the open and present themselves as a big target. The two boats lost were a blow to our abilities to unload as fast as possible though and some askaris unable to swim, drowned.

With the slow rate of ferrying troops from your and the German sailship, you were getting more and more worried that an attack would come or that they will fortify their positions at the town.
An attack does not come, contrary to your expectations, all men unload over the course of two hours and the shots from the settlement ceased early on. In order to capture the town before sunset, you send half the men on a flanking maneuver half a kilometer inland. When the time came, you attacked from both the bush and from the shoreline with bayonets fixed. Few unsynchronized shots were sent towards your directions and your forces responded with few volleys at the silhouettes dashing between the buildings and rushed in. Few enemy combatants offered resistance, most ran south or went into hiding, your best guesses indicated that an organized counterattack is imminent in a day or two when they contact Lamu and rally their forces.
(From roll of 6)

As Kamboni becomes your possession by sunset, work on field fortifications begins. The next day is calm, you have 100 able men, yesterday’s casualties due to rough seas claimed 7 dead and 3 badly wounded. After a lengthy sweep house to house, no resistance is found and surprisingly no weapons seized. From what you could gather, Malindi was not really keen on defending Kamboni as its not a farmland area and there is an absence of a good enough natural harbor on the small cape. You know Lamu is comparatively close and you may be attacked after a couple of days…

>Hold position for five days with all the men and work on fortifying the town.

Late November 1910

It has been 14 days since you landed in Kamboni and took with a bold sea borne assault. For a week you anticipated an attack that never came, you sent recon teams that did not report any enemy activity as far as 30 kilometers south. You requested supplies from Kismayo by sending two ships back … and you were surprised to see three vessels return. And shocked to learn the third one belonged to Malindi…

Turns out, the moment you set foot in their territory, the fact that the incursion was done together with the Germans, has sent a big shock in the Malindi palace. Fearing that they may lose everything if the Germans and their field guns attack from the south, in tandem with your seasoned bush fighters … they sent an envoy to Kismayo and Zanzibar to declare that they are open for negotiations. And then the envoy was surprised that you were personally in the field, leading the operation, more like a warlord than a sultan.

Now, you are in the Kismayo town hall, on the table of negotiations. Together with a German representative and the Malindi delegation. The only terms the Malindi Sultanate is demanding, is to keep their prime cities of Malindi and Lamu.

The German demands are for Malindi to relinquish control of Mombasa, and on that, the sultanate agrees. Kamboni province stays under your firm control, now you need to sort out the fine print of the treaty…

The Mombasa question:

>Reinstate as the capital of British East Africa, with the citizens who fled and are now located in Kismayo and German East Africa, as administrators.
(Causes most British citizens who fled to return and they might come around and try to boss you after a year or two under the pretext that you are their subordinate)

>Reinstate and incorporate under the authority of British Jubaland.
(Will be an administrative nightmare, and we don’t really have the means to defend it in case another revolt occurs, but if it works out, the revenue will be great)

>Joint British and German administration until we can figure out a better solution for the city.
(Will effectively secure the city from an attack or an insurrection, but it’s not clear how exactly this is going to end up in the long run)

>Hand it over to the Germans straight away if they want it.
(If we can’t effectively hold it, why bother, lets placate the stronger partners we have, to earn favors for later)

>Free city of Mombasa! There are local noble families who would kiss our feet if we hand it over to them. With fine print that states they cannot have armed forces of any kind and will not impose tariffs on German and British goods.
(Basically a vassal state, paying both you and the Germans an annual tribute from the trading they do. And reducing the chance of a rebellion of some sort to an absolute minimum)

------
Yes, that roll of 6 you asked for .... it was the roll that made Malindi surrendered. And then the stupid roll of 1 was no one coming to the armed forces to tell them, then the roll of 6 evaded completely a potential conflict of interests with the German forces.

>Free city of Mombasa! There are local noble families who would kiss our feet if we hand it over to them. With fine print that states they cannot have armed forces of any kind and will not impose tariffs on German and British goods.

Reinstating it as the capital sounds great but if the administrators lost it once they can lose it again, and the exodus of citizens from Kismayo weakens Jubuland.
The only way I can see it working is if we appoint our self as governor but that doesn't seem to be an option.

As the fate of Mombasa is sealed, approving nods can be seen from the Germans and some British citizens present in the room. The ones who fled will get to move back in what is left of their possessions. You were worried about how exactly it is going to be defended from future attacks if they come, but the Germans insist that a secure northern border is in their best interest and guarantee the defense of Mombasa if need arises.
(From roll of 6)

Now one last question is present, what should Malindi do to show they are responsible for their actions and are now willing to cooperate if they want to continue to … exist. Choose three clauses to demand.

>Lump sum reparation payment to you in ducats
>Lump sum reparation payment to you in goods
>Annual payments to Mombasa for the damage done during the occupation
>Handing over small arms to you
>Handing over any heavier military equipment they have to you
>Handing over any larger sea capable vessels they have to you
>Revoking all claims they have inland and not expanding further
>Opening their ports for international trade and not imposing tariffs on British and German goods
>Full military access for British and German forces on their territory, including fleet basing rights

Malindi was not entirely thrilled to end up with our officers observing their supply facilities, seizing whatever was not bolted into the ground or hidden before our arrival. At least they get to have independent fiscal system and foreign policy. Plus if they are smart, they might benefit the lifting of the embargo they had on us and the Germans.

In total, the small arms seized were 40 Martini-Henry rifles with appropriate ammunition supply to bolster our declining stockpile, and 10 Lee-Enfield bolt action rifles. You know they have more, but finding their secret stockpiles will be close to impossible, so you settle with this.
(From roll of 4)

You had great luck when it came to the heavier equipment that could not be disassembled or hidden fast enough. The trophies consisted of 3 Maxim guns in .303, ammo compatible with the Enfiled rifles. And a single QF 1-pdr “Pom pom” 37mm autocannon seized from the Lamu island defenses … thank god you decided against attacking the island with that thing there. The ammunition for it is limited, but it is a much welcomed addition to the arsenal.

December 1910

By the time you were done with the military expedition, the treaty and the completion of the terms. The time for harvest came and passed. And by the time you had the time to pay some attention to the taxation, surely some has already been stashed away due to the focus of the administration being shifted.

The harvest itself was average, despite the strange weather. The drier summer was negated due to the most of the farmlands being next to the Juba river, so they were not impaired. Livestock numbers took a small hit, but nothing too significant.
(From roll of 3)

The taxing process was indeed tedious, and the numbers were not really adding up. To top it off, half the territories we gained in the span of a year and they were exempt from taxation. Plus due to the unrest, some natives deliberately hid portions of their income. The total sum collected was 190 DCT. Barely 10 DCT more than the last year.
(From roll of 2)

With the 10 in the treasury, the state before the expenses summed is 200. Military salaries take away 30. Teachers, priest, emissary and administrator salaries 15 more and 5 for minor renting of boats, porters and supplies.
Current state of the treasury is 160 DCT, and it is time to allocate construction projects…
cont. with map update and infobox before presenting the projects.

Fug, miscount, that should be 150 DCT.

Native religion: 99% muslim
European religion: 100% christian
Native literacy rate: 2%

Military: 50 Europeans, SMLE bolt action rifles (10 rifles stored) (company detachment from 3rd East Africa battalion of the King's African Rifles)
50 Askari with Henry single shot rifles (40 rifles stored)
5 Carcano rifles stored
3 Maxim machine guns stored
1 QF 1-pdr 37mm "Pom-Pom" autocannon stored

2 small sailboats
1 small unarmed sailship

Political status: Retains the colonial model and presumes the empire
exists and functions, keeping loyalty to the crown. Otherwise, effectively
100% independent
Governor: Military veteran
Advisors: Engineer

Foreign relations:
Italian Mogadishu - Contact, warm relations
Aden - Contact, semi-active trade route
Marca clan - Strained relations
Malindi Sultanate - Contact, peace treaty, cold relations
German East Africa - Contact, very good relations

Economy:
Agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing.
Mostly sorghum grains, goats and bovines.

Brick production (small)
Charcoal production (limited)

Kismayo Buildings: 7000 province pop.

Market (medium)
Harbor (small)
Church (medium) (with priest),

no

Treasury:
150 DCT

Stored goods:
Dried fish (est. 10 DCT)

I don't think we built the bridge last time did we?

We should definitely look into getting a proper bridge built if we haven't already.

>Build a new mosque (30 DCT); Unrest is rather high for our liking, maybe we should show we pretend to care about the natives and make them a new, bigger mosque. The European population might dislike that though.

>Schools in the provincial centers Jamaame, Bardera and Afmadow (90 DCT); Not that the natives are that great in learning math and geography, they might at least learn English more easily.

>Expand the brick production chain even more (35 DCT); More clay pits, more charcoal pits and one more furnace. The more quality materiel we have, the cheaper and cheaper it is for the natives to make better houses for themselves and our construction costs be slightly reduced

>More storage facilities (30 DCT); The more grain, fish and hides we can store, the more we can sell in bulk in short notice. Will be located near the port so wealthy civilians can rent a storage to keep their wares safe when they are not on the market stalls.

>Blacksmith (25 DCT); We have the charcoal and we probably need blades and better tools. The question is how much iron we can find, or import. Unlocks more advanced options due to the presence of engineer.

>Big bridge the Juba river (80 DCT); A combination of bricks and wood will make the elevated construction immune to the fast and high flowing river during the wet season. Will likely attract land caravans.

>Brewery (25 DCT); Sorghum can be used to ferment into an alcoholic beverage. If constructed unlocks glass and bottle manufacturing due to presence of engineer in the colony, thus leading to a bottling unit. Would improve the quality of life of the Brits we have and reduce their unrest.

>Tannery (20 DCT); With the amount of livestock we have, we can make leather production easier as there is going to be a dedicated facility for this. Initially small, it can be expanded later.

>Cotton plantation (10 DCT); We have some seeds the Germans gifted to us, the cotton is drought resistant and should manage to survive here. Maybe we can combine it with a tannery to boost the creation of a textile industry.

Choose THREE, and watch out for bankruptcy. Budget is 150 DCT
