Watch out if Mansa has Slavery/Universal Suffrage. My guess is that he can construct nukes, and with either/both of those civics, he can saturate your cities with fallout.
This was so good that I had to register and show my support.
I am only a prince player and the experience from nuke warfare I have there is from a end game war with the mayas mainly, they had quite a few subs sailing around nuking my costal cities aswell as 2 ICBMs but them my SDI shot down. Ended up being nowhere near as bad as I first feared when I first saw my screen starting to shake once it was their turn and they could retaliate.
