Kongo is an File:Unrecognized power.png unrecognized power in central Africa. With limited starting technology and economic potential, it is highly difficult for Kongo to become an influential power in its region or the wider world.
历史背景
Kongo is a broken nation in 1836, a shadow of its former glory as a powerful Central African kingdom. At its height in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, Kongo controlled a vast territory and traded extensively with European powers, including 葡萄牙. However, by the 17th century, Kongo had begun to decline due to internal conflict, the slave trade, and the arrival of European colonizers. By the 19th century, Kongo was a fractured nation, with numerous small polities vying for power and control over the region.
Despite this, Kongo retained a rich cultural heritage, with a highly developed artistic tradition and a sophisticated court culture. The kingdom was also known for its production of high-quality cloth and its skilled
metalworking. In the face of European colonialism, Kongo struggled to maintain its independence and sovereignty, but its legacy as a once-great African kingdom continued to inspire later generations.

策略与指南

Kongo begins in a tough place; surrounded by decentralized nations and Portugal, it has no military expansion possibilities. Colonization requires researching at least Colonization, but even then most of its surrounding states cannot be colonized before researching
Quinine due to the
Severe Malaria present in them.
Economically, becoming a protectorate of a European power, such as Portugal or Spain, is likely the quickest route to having a large enough market for growth. Focusing on cash crops such as
tea and
dye is easiest. Additionally, the
Congolian Rainforest gives a bonus to
hardwood, so logging is another option.
