BTW, I'm using solver's event mod and his unofficial patch, but otherwise I'm unpatched.


I know from reading the forums that gold in your starting area is a cause for celebration, and the food is certainly nothing to sneeze at either- but man, theres tundra to the right (not to mention Alexander on my doorstep) and a nice big swath of unproductive desert in all other directions... I can see maybe one good site for a city- all the others would have to be

1: Way too close to one another

2: On horrible terrain

or

3: Very far away, ravaging my poor gold reserves.

Can someone good help me out here?

Solver's event mod is not savegame compatible, so maybe post screenies (eg. map) and expand your explanation so it'd be possible to evaluate this without the save?
 
not having seen your start because of the savegame issues, you may want to consider a quick 4-5 archer rush for alex's capital. the BtS AI has very poorly defended cities in the first few thousand years and you can probably wipe him out in one go.
 
I wiped out Washington and Asoka the other day with Warrior rushes lol
