What do you do with Mansa Musa?

[madscientist]

I have found Mansa musa both an easy victum, a later victum, my best buddy, or an indifferent annoyance. He is not the toughest civ in my book. The most difficult civs (marathon speed, huge map, prince) are Hyuana, Shaka (He is much more efficient than Monty at war mongering), Louis XIV, Ramsee II, and Wang Kong (who techs as well but much more difficult to please).

Play at higher difficulties and you'll learn to hate him properly.
(He is an awesome vassal though, one of the few you can tech trade properly with after having beaten him)

You are probably right but I have about 10 more civs to play at prince before I move on (right now using Ghengis).

I love playing as Mansa (Prince). Starting with Mining and Wheel means I have Copper hooked up extra fast. Financial is of course awesome and Spiritual is good too. Besides making the switch to/from war civics painless, I like how it makes it easy to keep good relations. Whenever somebody demands I switch to their favorite civic I say sure, then switch back asap.
