Every faction has a different way to score for Victory Points (VP) and thus comes with different strategies.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"europeans\">Europeans<\/h2>\n<p>During the Scramble for Africa Europeans can not declare war on each other. That means they will declare war on most African civilizations and be at war with at least 1 civ at any time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Scramble for Africa Italy Strategy (Deity)\" href=\"\/blog\/scramble-for-africa-italy-strategy-deity\/\"><strong>Italy<\/strong><\/a> is your main opponent, will declare war on you very early and is THE biggest threat to your first three &#8211; all coastal &#8211; cities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>France<\/strong> is your direct neighbor to the west, Algiers being his capital, and can be an annoyance during the first turns.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Scramble for Africa Germany Strategy (Deity)\" href=\"\/blog\/scramble-africa-germany-strategy-deity\/\"><strong>Germany<\/strong><\/a> depending on the quality of the central African land will settle SW of you, threatening your coal-cities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Belgium<\/strong> remains limited to central Africa. It should be no threat to you, but you might need to pass his territory to take out Ethiopia.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Scramble for Africa - The Rhodes Colossus Steam Achievement Guide\" href=\"\/blog\/scramble-africa-rhodes-colossus-steam-achievement-guide\/\"><strong>England<\/strong><\/a> plays only a minor role for you in this game &#8211; you will eventually take out some ships and capture Gibraltar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Portugal<\/strong>, although extremely powerful, will be a South African power in this game. His fleet will be yours, as will Lisbon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Europeans score for land (double), cities and population.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sub-saharan-civs\">Sub-Saharan Civs<\/h2>\n<p>The Sub-Saharan Civs score for culture. They can declare war on each other, but this is of absolutely no relevance for your Northern African dominance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Scramble for Africa - Praise the Victories Steam Achievement Guide\" href=\"\/blog\/scramble-africa-praise-victories-steam-achievement-guide\/\"><strong>The Boers<\/strong><\/a> will be long extinct by England and you probably won&#8217;t ever meet them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Zulu<\/strong> might send a scout north, but will also have been overwhelmed by England and Portugal without ever playing a role in your game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ethiopia<\/strong> deserves an extra paragraph. See below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"northern-african-civs\">Northern African Civs<\/h2>\n<p>The Northern African Civs receive VP for Gold per Turn (GPT) and can not declare war on each other.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Morocco<\/strong> will be your best friend. He&#8217;s under constant fire by France and England pushing from the south and thus keeping the Europeans at bay. Don&#8217;t let him die! Later in the game you might want to anchor your fleet in its waters, so Europeans can&#8217;t attack him from sea and\/or capture Agadir.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egypt<\/strong> is a strong competitor for score &#8211; especially since there&#8217;s no enemy except Italy (which will come for you first). Furthermore it has an incredible GPT output! You&#8217;ll need to weaken him early, to make it in the end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"ethiopia\">Ethiopia<\/h2>\n<p>If you have played this scenario before, you will know: Ethiopia is your enemy #1 in terms of score. It scores for culture like the other Sub-Saharan civs but is placed in very well defensible land and is impregnable to Europeans. This is<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>because they&#8217;re unable to launch a proper attack with more units than Ethiopia kills each turn,<\/li>\n<li>because the Mehal Sefari, Ethiopias unique unit, is a real tank, starting with Drill 1 (+15% combat bonus in rough terrain),<\/li>\n<li>because the Social Politics grant Ethiopia a huge defensive bonus (+15% in their territory and another +15% for an adjacent friendly unit),<\/li>\n<li>because of Ethiopias unique power granting them a +20% combat bonus against a larger civ aaaaand finally<\/li>\n<li>because probably 2 natural wonders will be in his territory: Source of Nile river (granting a promotion that causes its units to heal at the double rate) and Mt. Kilimanjaro (granting a promotion that gives its units +10% combat bonus and double movement in hills).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Have you counted? Doesn&#8217;t matter: They&#8217;re damn hard to kill. You will do it anyway eventually.<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"ottoman-carpentry\">Ottoman Carpentry<\/h1>\n<h2 id=\"general-strategy\">General strategy<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You need to weaken Egypt, take out Italy and Ethiopia and make loads of money to win. All of this is possible. The strategy in the second half of the game is to take cities and sell them to either Morocco or Egypt. The general rule here is: If the city is right beside the players main land &#8211; you&#8217;ll get more GPT. If the city had been a capital before &#8211; you&#8217;ll get more GPT. The latter will be the case with Algiers (France), Palermo (Italy), Lisbon (Portugal) and Addis Ababa (Ethiopia).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_432\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-432\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/scramble-africa-ottoman-carpentry-steam-achievement\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-statistics-gpt\/#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"432\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/scramble-africa-ottoman-carpentry-steam-achievement\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-statistics-gpt\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-statistics-GPT.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1366,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Civilization 5 Scramble for Africa Ottoman Deity Statistics GPT\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Statistics showing the GPT from deals throughout the entire game.

Tobruk even has the Source of Nile, providing all units passing it a double-heal-promotion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So far Italy has not sent any troops against Egypt, which is disappointing. But also it&#8217;s a strange lucky game I had there with Italy not declaring war on me! So here&#8217;s a survival guide:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"survival\">Survival<\/h2>\n<p>In 9 of 10 games I played, Italy declared war on me before or in turn 1. If they declare on you before that &#8211; you might as well start over. You can try to exploit the diplomatic flaw in Scramble for Africa by declaring on everybody else before, so Italy doesn&#8217;t find a partner. Maybe you&#8217;re lucky. Also I think diplomacy here strongly depends on the order of players turns&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway: If Italy attacks you, reload 1 turn before and sell Bengazi to Egypt for GPT. Your settler should be finished by now and on its way south. See whether you can bribe Italy against Egypt then. This could save you. If this doesn&#8217;t help, sell also Tunis (either to Egypt or to Morocco) and gather your troops around Tripoli. Beware that most likely Tripoli will fall.<\/p>\n<p>Two cannons in the hills south of the city can both bombard Tripoli and the Italian fleet, or embarked units. Do so and reconquer Tripoli. This is a good way to destroy the fleet, but your capturing unit dies, once they retake the city. An early cavalry comes handy here as it can withdraw from the city after capturing it.<\/p>\n<p>Also the timing is essential here &#8211; the Italian fleet needs to be occupied with Egypt already to NOT retake Tripoli every single turn (obviously because you only have a limited number of melee units).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-mediterranean-campaign\">The Mediterranean Campaign<\/h2>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Strategy<\/h3>\n<p>While fighting the Italian navy (ab)use the Quicksave function. One time I played 2 turns in 2 hours, because to win, every single time you attack (and destroy) an Italian vessel, you need to capture it. Even a just captured and half-dead Italian <a title=\"Caio Duilio-class ironclad\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caio_Duilio-class_ironclad\" target=\"_blank\">Caio Duilio-class ironclad<\/a> can withstand 1-2 enemy attacks and thus shield your own units. So even when they die they served you. This is truly Ottoman Carpentry. If the capture doesn&#8217;t trigger (80% chance, but it&#8217;s way less), try other attacks before in that turn and attack again.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as your own coastal cities are save, prepare to go for the Italian cities. Both Cagliari (Sardinia) and Palermo (Sicily) can be bombarded from Tunisia. Do so and rush in with an ironclad of yours. For Catanzaro (Italian mainland) you either need some (captured) frigates or spare ironclads out of range. Two can attack per turn and without ranged damage you&#8217;ll need 2-3 turns.<\/p>\n<p>After that, send necessary troops to Egypt and reconquer your and the Egyptian cities. Bring 4-6 ironclads into the Red Sea (you&#8217;ll meet a Portuguese fleet there). The rest of your fleet heads west to support the battle of Algiers. Gibraltar brings you one more save+reload session with the English fleet. You might sometimes NOT want to capture an enemy ship.

Place your units blocking Agadir and places to bombard Moroccan land units. Help your buddy out here.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-continental-campaign\">The Continental Campaign<\/h2>\n<h3>Strategy<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reconquer your own and Egyptian cities and sell them off to Egypt. After that, have all your units head down towards Ethiopia. This should start around turn 70 latest. Also: Once your attack starts, ally with the City States around Ethiopia. This will draw some of its attention (units) away from your front.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bring some 2-6 workers, too. Why workers? The mistake the Europeans make while attacking Ethiopia is bringing in troops one tile per turn (on rough terrain). To defeat Ethiopia, you need more troops than he can kill per turn! And to do this you need roads! Build roads in Egyptian territory towards Ethiopia. Have your artillery placed so you can fire on Ethiopian units and reinforce from behind with Cavalry.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cavalry is ideal against them: Four movement is more than enough to rush in from 2 tiles behind the front, cross the first hill and head into Ethiopian territory. The defenders will attack your cavalry. If it gets promotions &#8211; heal it and attack again. If there are not enough movement points left and you&#8217;re out of horses &#8211; disband the cavalry and build (buy) a new one. In your two southern cities you should be able to buy 2 cavalries per turn.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/scramble-africa-ottoman-carpentry-steam-achievement\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa\/#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"436\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/scramble-africa-ottoman-carpentry-steam-achievement\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1366,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Civilization 5 Scramble for Africa Ottoman Deity Capture Addis Ababa\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Shows the Ottoman army 1 turn before capturing Addis Ababa from Ethiopia.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa-300x168.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa-1024x575.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-436 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Civilization 5 Scramble for Africa Ottoman Deity Capture Addis Ababa\" width=\"700\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/civilization-5-scramble-for-africa-ottoman-deity-capture-addis-ababa.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a>Don&#8217;t stop building roads at the border (like I did)!

So I bribed everybody (for really little GPT and the occasional luxury) to war against Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>I supported both Egypt and Morocco in this war: I bought one Cavalry in my SE cities and one ironclad in Gibraltar and gave it to them.
