Ok, after looking at the save, I have to say that I would prefer a place to settle with a food bonus immediately available. We will not get a free border expansion and need our towns to grow. Also I do not like settling on a grassland hill that much. On a river this is a fast 1-3-1 tile, which I consider excellent.
If this would be my game I would settle on the plains hill. It gives +1 shield and gets the cow and the horses in the first ring.
The save is the one before my turn.

T0: 2000 BC Change Tenotihaucan to Obelisk for culture; switch research for Bronze Working (Mining in 5).

T8: 1680 BC Worker still heading for Horses; new Worker goes to mine hill for Capitol (much more growth and we will get angry citizens)
IBT: Zzzzz
T9: 1640 BC Worker reaches Horses; Barbarian Archer sighted 3 tiles from pigs in the NE; promote unit on pigs for +25% v Archers
IBT: Teotihaucan: Obelisk>Barracks (it grows in 2 turns)
T10: 1600 BC Worker is building pasture on Horses, Settler due in 6, 6 gold, Bronze Working due in 5 at 100% and -3gpt or 6 turns at 90% and 0gpt. We may want to build a Warrior before we complete the Settler so that we have enough escorts and get to see the Copper before we are ready to Settle. I must have miscounted as I thought we had enough gold to keep up research so could get straight on with the Settler but we haven't.

1440BC: Warrior on Pigs is attacked by an Archer and dies (despite Combat 1 and Archer 1). Warrior in the cap kills the Archer.
1400BC: BW, 3 sources of Copper are in the vicinity. After some pondering I decide to go for the gems spot first as Arabia already is very close to it. Start Archery.
1360BC: Settler ready, prebuild for the next settler is started, it will switch to an Archer once the tech is there.
1280BC: Settle Tlatelolco > Obelisk because it is next to Arabian borders.
1240BC: Hinduism spreads in Tlatelolco . No need for the Obelisk anymore > Rax.
1160BC: Archery. Three most useful techs are Writing (11), Pottery (7) and IW (20). Choose Pottery for the cottages as the cities will be busy with Archers / Settlers for a while. 20 turns for IW is bit to long to my liking.
A played quite a number of Emperor games and my general experience is some Archer defenses are really needed.

450AD: Just fortify units, Cathy has feudalism now, only short before we could have attacked
Afterwords: We can start construction at 100% next turn, but Saladin already has it. We are way back in tech. It seems hard to attack Cathy now that she has longbows, but on the other hand we will not get a chance again later on. Have an eye on city growth and garrision; remember we are in Hereditary Rule.

We could try to sneak this double guerillia archer to the iron, but probably futile.
