Thanks Toch this was interesting. I made the test game (first 54 rounds) using Tochs save (after changing the speed from epic to normal) and followed closely ideas of DMOC and Lord Parkin. More detailed description is below. The beginning seems quite good. However I think I would prioritize Pottery over Bronze working assuming peaceful early game and/or that we've horses somewhere. After we got cottage/cottages ready researhing Mining and Bronze working would be very fast.
Turn 1: Build Warrior for 6 turns, working first forest then FP for 1 turn. Research Fishing
Turn 6:
Fishing ready Start AH. Change build to WB and work plains hill forest
Turn 14:
WB ready. Work crab.
Turn 16:
Animal Husbandry ready.
Warrior ready start another one
Turn 17: pop 2. Change production to Worker. Work FP and crabs.
Turn 22:

Turn 27:

Turn 31: Sheeps ready. Change work to sheeps and crabs
Turn 32: pop 3. Work FP. BW is next round ready so I transfer Worker to grass forested hill in the river.

Turn 36 pop 4. Change prod to Settler, work 2*FP, sheep and crab.
Turn 39
Wheel ready start pottery. Mine ready and hammers go to settler. Worker will travel to chop the grassland forest near river. Replacing one FP with mine.
Turn 43 Forest chopped. Worker moves to FP to start cottage.
Turn 44
Pottery ready starting mystisicm,
Settler ready. I put the hammer overflow to Worker and continue Warrior that was started earlier. Change work from mine to FP so that pop raise and warrior occurs at the same time.
Turn 49 pop 5.
Mystisicm ready start Meditation.
Warrior ready. Continue worker (overflow made it half ready). First cottage ready. Worker goes to make another cottage to other FP.
Turn 51 Another
