![]() Army Professionalism Many rulers of the Sonni dynasty saw in every one of our peasants nothing but another potential soldier to be wasted in a senseless war. While this attitude helped us in the past to get more recruits, it surely was not cost efficient. We should drop this attitude and create a professional army, led by our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetHerselfHimself]. |

![]() Reform the Army Although the usage of firearms and guns is sneaking into our military it is still far away from being common for our troops. Most of our soldiers still rely on spears and bows while the Maghrebi and the Europeans mastered firearms. If we want to not be overrun by our northern neighbors we need to reform the army and modernize their weapons. |

![]() Modernize Songhai While our army is enjoying reforms and modernization our [Root.GovernmentName] still holds old laws and rules of medieval times, and our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] is not perceived as the absolute ruler of [Root.GetName]. We should focus on reorganizing our government and embrace the many wonders of modern technology. |

![]() Conquer Koumbi Saleh Around 300 years ago the mighty Ghana Empire ruled over the territory which is now occupied by Mali. The Ghana Empire crumbled when time flew by and eventually their once impressive capital, Koumbi Saleh, is nothing but an abandoned town. Still, conquest of this ruin might prove useful to get a better foothold into Mali territory. We also might find old writings, which could be of use for our current state. |

Conquering Maghreb[edit | edit source]
Mission | Completion requirements | Effects | Prerequisites |

![]() War Preparations We once were subjects of the Mali realm until they lost their grip over their territory. Ever since we have become independent and as such it is up to ourselves to defend us from foreign threats. We should build up our forces and hire a competent general as the time for conflicts is approaching. |

![]() Conquer Jenne Jenne has been historically a very important center of trade on the Niger ever since its foundation. Atop of that it also houses the Great Mosque of Djenné and was once part of our rival Mali, but now an independent - and with that an easy - target. We should take control over this important city for the glory of Songhai. |

![]() Contact with Maghreb During the time of the Ghana Empire the Sahel and Niger regions received many visitors from Arabia and Maghreb. This continued during the lifetime of the Mali Empire, but nowadays the travellers and merchants from these regions rarely come to us anymore. We should restore the contact with our brethren in faith - at least with those in Maghreb as they are the closest to us. |

![]() Invade Maghreb Although we hoped for a better diplomatic relation with the people of the Maghreb, they are only interested in our gold and salt. Even worse: the Moroccan were even planning an invasion into our territory so they can seize the salt and gold production for themselves! For the sake of our own security we should turn the tables and go into the offense first! |

Jihad against Mossi[edit | edit source]
Mission | Completion requirements | Effects | Prerequisites |
---|---|---|---|
![]() Eliminate the Mossi Threat The Mossi tribes in the south have been a thorn in our side for quite some time. Although they fight each other regularly, they and the Tuareg still manage to organize raids on our villages. If we want any peace from these heathens we have to show strength and eliminate these tribes. |

![]() Develop Salt and Cloth Gold is seen as an immensely valuable resource in the world. However, in West Africa it is only second to another, much more important resource: salt. While gold is useful for our treasury, it is not edible, and as such salt is of high value here. Then there are cloths, which are of great importance to protect the body from the heat of the sun. We should develop the production of both goods in order to supply our market and to expand our trade even beyond the Sahel and Niger. |

![]() More Power to the Ulema Our [Root.GovernmentName] is heading in the direction of religious unity and enlightenment. But there are much more things to be done. The Ulema manage the sacred laws of our country and oversee the conversion of the heathens, but they are limited by our government. We should grant them more freedom and privileges in order for them to advance our progress of law creation. |

![]() Convert West Africa West Africa has always been unique when it comes to religion. When Islam established its foothold in West Africa, the upper elites converted to the true faith, but did not force it upon their subjects. In rare cases they even granted the heathen peasants rights and tolerated their behavior. The time for tolerance is over though, and now these heathens should be led on the right path too. |

While our upper class has embraced the light of Allah, our rural population still follows the pagan traditions. We should pay respect to our roots and guarantee the freedom of religion for our people. |

![]() Unite the Tribes Many countries which are followers of the old ways are splintered into tribes, waging wars against each other and against us, and lose their significance in the process. While the fate of these tribes is little of our concern, the traditions and history they carry with them is worth protecting and preserving. We should do their rural populations a favor and liberate them from these tribes. |
