Most valuable parts of Africa?
New to the game. Generally speaking, what parts of Africa do you guys prioritize in the scramble? Or is it mostly a game of getting as much as you can rather than targeting specific parts?
As an aside, how much of an impact do African colonies even have economically. Is it actually worth going out of your way to get a piece, or is it more the principle of the matter? I'm Germany in my current game and I think the biggest impact might be the extra naval bases it let me build.

Are you playing vannialla or with mods ?
Generally taking out sokoto the one african nation all alone in the base game gives you a good jumping off zone to get the rest of Africa

I'm just doing the base game right now. I haven't done a hardcore colonizer yet. I've done a Japan, a China, and am in the middle of a Prussia-> Germany run.
With Japan I took out Arabia and managed to get most of East Africa. But it felt like my money came from conquering China.
I ignored colonizing with China.
And in my German game I got most of West Africa. But I'm Germany, so the colonies feel more like a bonus.
