West African Slave Trade

west_african_slave_trade

Even before our Empire existed, the great Wagadou, the Ghana Empire that preceded us, sold Slaves across the desert to the Arabs. We have followed suit all these years, supplying the Arab world with a vast number of Slaves. Now the Europeans clamor for even more Slaves to work their holdings in the so-called New World. We have had little report, but the amount of Slaves they demand is truly stunning, and they keep coming back, sometimes even raiding our shores and abducting our subjects. The time has come to impose order on this trade and restrict the Europeans to select commercial ports where they will purchase, not steal, Slaves.

It has no requires, so the game files don’t say where this goes. When the game builds the Absolutism tree, it adds this at the end of a branch with room for it, in the same spot in every campaign.
