I propose to get rid of Turkey and add in Korea instead. Babylon has like zero space to expand, and when it does, it just gets punished over and over again by new civs spawning. Korea could be like the Greece of the East I think. If you look at the east it is almost empty - just China for thousands of years, then Japan in the dark ages and Mongolia late in the game. I think China, Mongolia, and Japan have tons of space to expand in the East and Korea could fit in very easily.
Thoughts on playing Babylon:
The Middle East is WAY too crowded. I have been trying to win the Babylonian UHV but gave up on that after a while, pretty sure it's impossible, as I can easily get the sciences but never surpass India's culture of Buddhism/Hinduism spam.
Let's see what happens the poor Babylonians-
* I manage to flip either Al-sur, or shush
* Persia spawns. Gets Shush
* Arabia spawns, Gets Al-sur, Jerusalem
Ok, so you say, settle to the north near the iron, and the nw on the Anatolian plateau after greek comes by and razes hattusas. Oh wait
* Turkey spawns, Gets those two cities.
Turkey always has ridiculously buggy score [liek 31 or 126], then just submits to vassaldom, it makes no sense. Oh, and turkey gets my iron, so the Arabian camel archer rape on Babylon begins [if the AI was smart enough, it could easly raze the city with a stack instead of wasting time pilaging]
