Sorry, stackers, no big calls from me this time. There won't be any more major decisions going forward. The last vote was pretty close, but you guys decided I should go for the scientific win.

My pursuit of scientific triumph does not preclude the reality of war, and history has proven this. The neighboring nation dared to challenge me, and I answered with a resounding victory. Their capital (Niani), along with another city (Jenne), now stands as a testament to my might. Afterwards, they asked for peace and I agreed.

The Swedes suffered a double blow when they lost two of their cities. One fell under our sway through the natural influence of my growing dominions (Helsingborg). The other, however, required a more subtle approach. By employing a network of spies to sow discord and undermine the local governors, we successfully turned the city's populace against their rulers (Lund). Kalmar is now in our sights, and we intend to employ similar tactics to bring it into our fold.

The mission for scientific victory is rolling! I've already built the spaceport and I'm working on launching a satellite. I'm also working on the Manhattan Project. It won't be an easy fight since the other civilizations are at it too. I couldn't get the great personality that boost these projects, but I can rely on my spy network to mess with their progress. We're in it to win it!
