If you're going to use African religions as a setting, your best bets are Vodun, Yoruba, and the Dogon folk faith.
Vodun is what turned into Voodoo in the western hemisphere, the Yoruba have an anime-tier cosmology with shitloads of gods and demons who fight with dance-offs, and the Dogon are notorious for being ancient aliens loon-fodder because their religion is about fish people who came from the stars to enlighten humanity - which can also be mixed up with the vodun stuff for a Lovecraft bonus.

Awesome

Here's a reference picture for the fish god, one of them anyway. One is Nommo and the other is Nummo; they're the same person "split" into two identical entities who act as one. If you wanted to include a race of scaly furbait here's your chance

Padded cotton armor can stop an arrow, well made armor is held loosely off the skin allowing perspiration in the hot climate.
Metal plates are fine too, however their main purpose is to prevent the cotton armor being cut open, which is its main weakness, luckily the only reliable way to do this is at close quarters and with a short range weapon like a sword. A competent soldier should be able to take advantage of an enemy recklessly closing in to do this.
Cavalry was a formidable force on the open plains of the Sahel. Further south and their horses sicken from the tse tse fly and cavalry struggles in thick vegetation. Further north and water and sand becomes an issue.

Coincidence, actually. Dagon is a Levantine fish god associated with the Phillistines, which is where he got the name.

Apparently ancient potsherd pavements were strong enough to withstand human-traffic, more so than replicated examples of contemporary pavements, which implying that a higher quality of pottery was manufactured by the Yoruba in Ife and other-city states than today, being better fired. Potsherd pavements covered almost all of Ile-Ife in its prime, and were also found in Great Benin, much of Yoruba land, and even Togo and the modern state of Benin.
What other examples of potsherd(or other) pavements can be found in Africa? Ile-Ife's pavement is really the only one I've read about in any detail. Also planning to make another thread later on Yoruba(and as an extension, Ife's significance and influence on West African forest polities, i.e. Benin).
The significance of potsherd pavements in Ife is such that scholars tend to divide the city's history into the pre and post-pavement periods, with the latter beginning after 1000AD.
Easton Reed
Can be pretty good
Here's my idea for scenerio
You start as a random neolitic-tier hunter-gatherer in some tribe of West Africa in the year 1879
Then a genocidal war breaks out with the neighboring tribe (that lives 3.5 kms away) because they called their mud mosque greater than yours simply because it was 4 meters tall while your is 3 meters tall
So you fight the genocidal war, if you lose your tribe is wiped out and it's game over, if you win, it skips to a year later when Europeans invade and start building roads, real buildings, schools, hospitals...etc in your shithole, and you won the game

I'm starting to get annoyed by this African shit, and I'm probably the only person on this board that has bothered to read Mungo Park's journal. Just stop, no one is going to come around and go, "ooh,ahh," about Africa. It's getting sad, the need to seek the approval of avowed racists.
Jonathan Cooper
Why do you get this upset? Nobody want the approval of anyone, they're just making a thread about Africa, if you don't like African thread, don't click.

To convey some idea of the number of crucifixions
-and sacrifices witnessed in this "city of blood" it will be
necessary to enter into a few gruesome details. Facing the
principal entrance to the King’s compounds stood a large
sacrificial tree on which two bodies were crucified, and
scattered in all directions around its base lay numbers of
decapitated and disembowelled sacrifices in various stages of
decomposition, amongst which were the decapitated remains
of three Europeans, who had evidently been gagged and their
hands bound behind their back before execution. A few
hundred yards to the south of the main entrance, already
alluded to, stood another sacrificial tree, on which was
crucified the body of a woman, and at its base three other
eviscerated bodies (also women) were found. Continuing my
way to the south I came upon the large plain leading to the
Gwato Path, and there witnessed one of the most horrible
sights that it is possible for the human mind to conceivei.
e., one hundred and seventy-six newly decapitated and
mutilated human sacrifices strewn about in all directions,
besides countless numbers of skeletons-truly, a most
gruesome sight and one not to be easily forgotten.

France, 18th century :
Damiens allegedly said "La journée sera rude" ("The day will be hard").[8] He was first subjected to a torture in which his legs were painfully compressed by devices called "boots".[9][10] He was then tortured with red-hot pincers; the hand with which he had held the knife during the attempted assassination was burned using sulphur; molten wax, molten lead, and boiling oil were poured into his wounds.[1] He was then remanded to the royal executioner, Charles Henri Sanson, who harnessed horses to his arms and legs to be dismembered. But Damiens' limbs did not separate easily: the officiants ordered Sanson to cut Damiens' tendons, and once that was done the horses were able to perform the dismemberment.[9][10][11] Once Damiens was dismembered, to the applause of the crowd, his reportedly still-living torso was burnt at the stake.[12] (Some accounts say he died when his last remaining arm was removed.)[9][10]

ckline Mukisa sobbed as she described how her 8-year-old son was found in a nearby swamp in February without teeth, lips, ears and genitals.
“My innocent son died a painful death,” said Mukisa, 28. “How could somebody intend to murder my son?”
A motorcyclist offered John Lubega a lift as he walked back from school, according to fellow students who saw him last. His remains suggest he was slowly killed as part of a human sacrifice ritual performed by witch doctors, apparently to appease the spirits, said Mukisa, who filed a police report.
No arrest has been made so far.
In this landlocked country whose diverse landscape includes the snow-capped Ruwenzori Mountains and immense Lake Victoria, many believe sacrificial rituals can bring quick wealth and health.
Among those rituals, human sacrifice, especially of children, occurs frequently despite the government’s efforts to stop it.
Seven children and two adults were sacrificed last year, said Moses Binoga, a police officer who heads Uganda’s Anti-Human Sacrifice and Trafficking Task Force. Seven children and six adults were sacrificed in 2015.
But experts said the number could be much higher.

Times are tough in Uganda, and people are looking to sacrifices to improve their fortunes. The worst drought in over half a century has hit parts of East Africa, leaving more than 11 million people in this nation facing food insecurity and 1.6 million on the brink of famine, according to the Ugandan government.
“There is no food due to the ongoing drought, and some believe that this has been brought by ancestral spirits,” said Joel Mugoya, a traditional healer. “So there is a high desire for people to conduct sacrifices so that they come out of this problem.”

Recently, Uganda police arrested 44 suspects in Katabi, a town 24 miles from the capital, Kampala, in connection with a spate of killings of children and women. Half of the suspects have been charged in court, including two alleged masterminds.
Uganda Police Inspector General Kale Kayihura said one suspect confessed to killing eight women. More than 21 women have been killed between May 3 and Sept. 4, Kayihura said.
“The murders were for ritual sacrifices,” he told residents last week. “We are working hard to arrest the remaining suspects and end the practice.”
Francis Bahati’s wife was among the victims. He discovered her body after three days of searching. Her fingers and feet had been cut off for ritual purposes, likely in hopes of securing better fortunes.
“I was shocked and even lost consciousness,” he said.
Last year police arrested Herbert Were, a resident of Busia town in eastern Uganda, for beheading his 8-year-old brother, Joel Ogema. Were, 21, confessed to police that he killed his brother in hopes of attaining wealth.
In June, a Ugandan court sentenced the witch doctor to life in prison.

Church leaders are teaming up with police to end the brutal practice.
Pastor Peter Sewakiryanga, who heads Kyampisi Childcare Ministries, a Christian organization that fights child sacrifice in Uganda, said children disappear in the country every week. They are often found dead, or alive with missing body parts.
Most survivors or victims do not file police reports, Sewakiryanga said, adding that he implores victims to come forward.
“It’s a serious problem but we are fighting it with the help of the government,” he said.
Sacrifices often involve removing body parts, blood or tissue while the child is still alive.
“It’s a brutal ritual that destroys the lives of our children and affects their parents mentally,” he added. “We are working with the police to arrest witch doctors involved in the ritual. We are also assisting the survivors financially and with moral support.”
Sewakiryanga said his charity worked with Ugandan police three years ago to arrest a witch doctor and his accomplices who sacrificed a 7-year-old girl named Suubi.
The witch doctor drained her blood and cut out her genitals, he said. He then cut the neck and drained the blood of the girl’s 10-year-old brother, Kanani.

According to KidsRights, a global organization that advocates for children, Uganda has 650,000 registered traditional healers and an estimated 3 million unregistered practitioners. Unscrupulous witch doctors hide among so-called healers, the group said.
“They should arrest people who murdered my son,” Mukisa said. “The government is doing little to protect our children. They must begin to arrest all witch doctors.”
But Sewakiryanga said arresting everyone claiming to practice medicine was going too far. He hoped to end the practice by changing the hearts of those who promote human sacrifice.
Efforts to end the practice need to expand, he said. Other countries in Africa reported to be practicing child sacrifice include Tanzania, Nigeria, Swaziland, Liberia, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
