Repel the Christians Men with a very bright skin color showed up at our coasts and started spreading ideas of a man hung on a cross.

Kongo: Is Catholic Dominant religion is Catholic Ruler religion is Catholic	Kongo: Gain 25 prestige If did not chose option 'Christianity will triumph in Kongo!' during the "The King of Kongo Converts!" event: Trigger event “Kongo Converted!”
Churches for our People During our time of primitive worship of nature spirits and ghosts of ancestors we had no kind of house of worship. At best, we had shrines which were maintained by a shaman. These times are fortunately over, and now it is our most important task to construct churches so that everyone of our people can get in touch with the Lord.	Kongo: Is Catholic Owns at least 10 Catholic provinces with any Taxation building	Kongo: Gain 100 papal influence Clergy gains 30 loyalty	Embrace Christianity
Cardinal for Kongo While our people get more and more familiar with the writings of the Bible and the teachings of Christ, the catholic influence in Central Africa grows. If we want that to continue we will need an official appointed cardinal. It would be beneficial if we got into contact with the Pope or at least with one of the catholic countries with a cardinal.

Loango and Ndongo's Fate The history of the realms of Ndongo and Loango is obscure and, just like our own history, based on legends. Despite that, these two states are vassal states of Kongo - at least in name that is. Both kingdoms are no longer fit to be ruled by their own rulers and should be integrated into our own [Root.GovernmentName] instead.	Ndongo and Loango do not exist	If Kongo has not embraced the Feudalism institution Country's capital gains 100% progress towards the Feudalism institution Else: Kongo gains 50 diplomatic power
A proper Kingdom Our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] is within our society a proper monarch already. In the eyes of these pale men we are however "barbarians"; tribes people. Of course these people have no idea about our culture, but as long they don't see us on the same eye height we will not be able to learn of their technology and ideas they bring.	Kongo: Has embraced the Feudalism institution Has at least +1 Stability Has at least 90 Legitimacy Has enacted a tier 3 government reform Had contact with the Europeans.	Kongo: Become a monarchy Gain country modifier “European Influence” for 25 years, giving the following effects: +15% Institution spread −10% Idea cost	Loango and Ndongo's Fate
Kongolese Navy The world is changing. Men with pale skin and never seen armor visit our coasts and bring new ideas to our people, while other foreigners trade their goods with us. However, it is questionable if their intent is in our favor, and as such we must prepare to defend our home from these invaders from the sea by creating ships of war for ourselves.	Kongo has at least 10 heavy ships	Kongo: Gain 25 navy tradition Gain an explorer with 50 navy tradition	A proper Kingdom
Modernize Kongo The advancements of the Europeans astonishes our people and Mani alike.

We must banish this menace from our home region and drive them back to the cold north!	Every province of the Southern Africa subcontinent, Niger region and Guinea region: At least one of: Is not owned by a country, which capital is in Europe Is owned by a European subject of Kongo	Kongo: Gain 25 prestige Gain 100 administrative power Gain 100 diplomatic power Gain 100 military power	Modernize Kongo

Colonies centralization missions

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
Develop Kongo Our [Root.GovernmentName] is on the verge to reach greatness. However, for achieving this we need more people and the infrastructure to support them. We should develop Mpemba and the surrounding area.	Province Mpemba (1170): Is owned and cored by Kongo Has at least 30 Development Kongo owns at least 5 provinces apart from Mpemba (1170) with at least 10 Development	Kongo gains a colonist for 100 years or as long as we do not unlock any other colonist idea
Nzimbu Sources Traditionally the shells of clams, the nzimbu, served Kongo as the currency. They are relatively easy to break, and because access to gold is rare in our home region we need these shells to continue minting the currency. Fortunately there is a good source for more of these valuable shells: the islands next to the coast of Luanda are home to the clams. We should expand our territory and integrate this coast to increase our access to the nzimbu.	The following provinces are owned by Kongo or or its non-tributary subjects Luanda (1167) Benguela (1172) Ndongo (1171)	Province Luanda (1167): Change province's goods produced to Gems Gain 2 base production Provinces Benguela (1172) and Ndongo (1171): Gain 2 base production If does not have a center of trade of at least level 2 Increase Center of Trade level by 1	Develop Kongo
Controller of Trade The economy of Kongo is based on nzimbu as currency and the inner trading. But only internal trade is not efficient enough, and as such we should expand trade to the inner tribes of Kongo, the great lake and the Ivory Coast.	Kongo: Controls at least 20% of the trade or is the strongest trade power in the Ivory Coast trade node Controls at least 50% of the trade or is the strongest trade power in the Congo trade node Controls at least 25% of the trade or is the strongest trade power in the Great Lakes trade node	Kongo: Gain 500 ducats Gain 2% mercantilism Country's capital: Gain 3 base production Build Stock Exchange	Nzimbu Sources
Seize the Mani Power Kongo is a confederacy of provinces, managed by the Mani of our country. They collect the taxes of the rural areas and every year present their earnings to the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]. Should our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] be happy with them then the Mani are able to hold onto their power for another year. While this system worked out very well in the past, it is a very outdated form of government, and if our [Root.GovernmentName] is to survive we need to seize the power of the Mani and centralize the state.	If Nobility estate exists Has at least 50% crown land ownership Nobility has less than 30 influence Nobility has at least 50 loyalty Else, Kongo: Has at least +2 Stability Has at least +40 Prestige	All owned and stated provinces in the Congo and Central Africa region: Lose 100% local autonomy If Kongo has a stability of less than +3, then it gains 1 stability, else it gains 50 administrative power.
Absolute Rule The world is changing, and so does our place too. The Europeans have brought new ideas. Not all of them are practical for us, but the concept of absolutism is one worth pursuing. It is in direct conflict with old traditional ways of state government, but our people saw the advancements the Europeans have achieved under this guide line. We should embrace this concept and implement the absolute rulership in our realm too.	If the Age of Absolutism has not been reached yet Has 100 Legitimacy (or equivalent) Has +3 Stability Has at least 7 subjects All subjects have less than 20% Liberty desire Has no rebel army No province is controlled by rebels Else Has less than 15% Average autonomy Has no rebel army No province is controlled by rebels If DLC 'Emperor' is active and is revolutionary Has at least 75 Revolutionary zeal Else: Has at least 75 Absolutism	Kongo gains country modifier “Absolute Rule” for the rest of the game, giving the following effects: +15 Maximum absolutism −20% Liberty desire in subjects −0.03 Monthly autonomy change	Seize the Mani Power

Conquest armies missions

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
The Makoko's Copper The king of Tyo, the so-called 'Makoko', rules over Anziku and its rich copper sources. Historically, we did not have any dispute with the people of Tyo, but their copper is of excellent quality and it is needed within our own kingdom for civil and military use. It would be beneficial if Tyo becomes an integrated part of Kongo.	Kongo owns core province Anziku (1169)	Province Anziku (1169): Lose 100% local autonomy Gain province modifier “The Copper of Anziku” for 25 years, giving the following effect: +3 Local goods produced
Kuban Conquest According to the founding legends of Kuba, this jungle kingdom is ancient - at least 900 years old even. Their legends are however of little importance to us. What is more important is the art the Kuban are capable of creating. Their masks, their broadswords - the Ilwoon Sword - are both testimonies of their skill of art and warfare. We should integrate the Kuban into our realm and make use of both of their iconic items.	All 'Kuba' provinces are owned by Kongo or its non-tributary subjects	Kongo: Gain country modifier “Kuban Art” for 25 years, giving the following effects: +10% Infantry combat ability +200% Prestige from land battles Gain a permanent claim on the following areas: Sankuru Luba	Found an Army The Makoko's Copper
Luban Iron In order to maintain power our [Root.GovernmentName] needs strategic resources like copper and iron. While copper is not a big issue, the iron of Mpemba is not enough to sustain our economy and army. Fortunately the Luban in the east have rich iron sources. It would be useful to us if we ... liberate their iron.	The following provinces are owned by Kongo or or its non-tributary subjects Hemba (4099) Luba (4097)	Kongo: Gain 4 years' worth of income from Copper and Iron provinces production Gain a permanent claim on the following area: Shaba Province Lega (4109): If uncolonized, gain a colony with  400 settlers If owned, Gain 1 base tax Gain 1 base production Gain 1 base manpower Otherwise, gain a permanent claim.

Proof of Strength Great powers have risen on this world and are now deciding the fate of Africa; our fate! Although we are no warrior kingdom we will be forced to show our strength through force by defeating another great power in a war. Else we will never be masters of our own fate.	At least one of: Kongo is the only remaining great power. If DLC 'Rights of Man' or 'Emperor' is active Any great power has less than −50 war score against Kongo.

Conquest missions

Mission	Completion requirements	Effects	Prerequisites
Found an Army Kongo traditionally never had any kind of army. At best, there was the Royal Guard, which ensured the safety of our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle], but otherwise we always had to rely on a unprofessional peasant army. While it worked in the past, it is not a solid strategy for the future. We need to establish a permanent army.	Kongo: Has an army size of at least 100% of its force limit Is employing any Military advisor If Nobility estate exists Has the Nobility “Primacy of the Mani” privilege Else: Gains at least 7 military power per month	Kongo gains a permanent claim on: Matamba area Lower Kasai area Shinje (4083) Kumbana (4087) Kuba (4089) Anziku (1169)
The Warrior Threat Our home region is not only a place for the [Root.GetAdjective], but other tribes as well. Although we share certain similarities and live very close, our cultures still differ quite substantially. Two of these cultures are even seen as a threat to our borders, which are the raiding Yaka and the militarized Mbangala. We should subjugate them quickly before they get any chance to become a serious problem.	All 'Yaka' and 'Mbangala' provinces are owned by Kongo or its non-tributary subjects	Kongo: Gain 20 army tradition Gain 2% army professionalism Gain a permanent claim on the following areas: Kasai Chokwe	Found an Army
The Chokwe and the Lunda Deeper within the region of Kongo are the Chokwe and the Lunda, both tribes with their own unique culture and traditions. The Chokwe are exceptionally good craftsmen and artists and their art work is a regional treasure. The Lunda are known to our people for their efficient statesmanship and their deep connection to religion. Our [Root.GovernmentName] could benefit from the integration of both cultures into our own.	All 'Chokwe' and 'Lunda' provinces are owned by Kongo or its non-tributary subjects	Kongo gains 100 government reform progress Every Ivory producing province owned by Kongo or its non-tributary subjects: Gain province modifier “Chokwe Craftsmanship” for 30 years, giving the following effects: +1 Local goods produced +0.25 Local prosperity growth All provinces in the Zambia area: If uncolonized, gain a colony with  400 settlers If owned, Gain 1 base tax Gain 1 base production Gain 1 base manpower Otherwise, gain a permanent claim.

All 'Kongo' (apart from 'Sawabantu' and 'Jukun' cultures) provinces are owned by Kongo or its non-tributary subjects	Kongo gains a permanent claim on the Southern Africa subcontinent	Luban Iron The Chokwe and the Lunda Controller of Trade
Africa's Hegemon With the consolidation of the Kongo region, the access to the Great Lakes, to East and Southern Africa are free. It is time that an empire arises in Southern Africa, which holds these regions together and protect them from the prying eyes of the Europeans - and we shall be this empire!
