Wow, I never even thought of that! It is hard to imagine Africa as having enough resources to be worth taking militarily given their lifestyle.
Keep in mind, I was going to have Europe be taken over without a shot being fired. It seems to me that they are welcoming a Muslim takeover via immigration.
At any rate, Africa just made it into the book. I was just going to use Egypt, but that would be a poor use of MY resources.
european colonists didn’t take over africa because it was a waste of time. They colonized africa because there are rich lands there and no one with the organization talent to extract them.
