Emperor
Polynesia, Terra, your choice of speed, difficulty and size. All other options standard.
Special rule: you are not allowed to settle anywhere in the Old World. Conquest, well, that's another matter... perfectly fine for an army of veteran assault troops to Haka their way through Europe
Do you take your starting unit with you for scouting and security, or do you leave them behind to grab a bunch of ruins so you can sell some embassies, buy a Maori, and open a Policy tree as soon as you settle? The Americas will be crawling with Barbarians (wait, where did they come from?) by the time you arrive...
Note: founding a Pantheon will crash the game if you do not have any cities. Saving & reloading before opening a ruin or making contact with a CS is not considered cheating for this game
