SIX NEW CULTURES

• Era 1 – Bantu (Expansionist)

 
The Bantu expansion is a postulated series of major migrations of
an original Ntu-speaking group from Central- West-Africa across
much of sub-Saharan Africa.

Pick this culture if you want to grab a lot of land fast and
early!

• Era 2 – Garamantes (Agrarian)

 
The Garamantes emerged as a major regional power in the mid-second
century AD. Their growth and expansion rested on a complex and
extensive qanat irrigation system (known as foggaras in Berber),
which supported a strong agricultural economy and large
population.

Territories!

• Era 3 – Swahili (Merchant)

 
The rise of the Swahili coast city-states can be largely attributed
to the region’s extensive participation in a trade network that
spanned the Indian Ocean.

Pick this culture if you have lots of coasts and want to take
advantage of them!

• Era 4 – Maasai (Agrarian)

 
A fierce pastoralist people with a Nilotic (rather than Bantu or
Swahili) language. For the Maasai, achieving warrior status meant
single-handedly killing a lion with a spear.

• Era 5 – Ethiopians (Militarist)

 
During the Scramble for Africa, Ethiopia and Liberia were the only
two nations that preserved their sovereignty from long-term
colonization by a European colonial power.
Tewodros II also centralized the military by creating a permanent
standing army from its historical practice of temporarily raising
regional armies to create a national army.
By weaving the natural cliffs and ledges into the creation of their
fortresses, Ethiopia was able to fend off most colonial forces.
 
Pick this culture if you’d like to quickly catch up on military and
science!

• Era 6 – Nigerians (Agrarian)

 Nigeria unites a wide variety of cultures under the rule
of one state. Although built around the three main linguistic hubs
(Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo), the country brings together speakers of
more than 450 languages. The variety of its terrain and the
abundance of its hydraulic resources offer it significant
agricultural possibilities and make it one of West Africa’s
foremost producers.
