In my game, Isabella has soaked up all the hate so there weren't any particular difficulties.
This map is a little more skill intensive than the previous one, due to the absence of marble and tremendous food surplus.
It means whipping the capital should actually be considered.
Also, wonders and, thus, gpp, are harder to get by.
Here, I think the best opener starts with Oracle --> Alphabet.
That lets the player backfill all the important techs, whip, chop, cottage, improve the infrastructure, etc.
With the crew that this map has, planning to trade for Alphabet doesn't seem very well indicated (whereas Oracle --> Aesthetics was a fine move in the last map).
I've settled on 3 workers to improve the land.
I think this is a fine count. Of course, whipping workers helps complete wonders faster.
Given the food surplus vs happy cap balance, completing the ToA and Pyramids should (imo) take priority vs the Granary and Library.
Early wonders are the wonders one wants to rush, for there's the most competition for them.
Despite the specialists, I don't think it would be best to run Representation from this point on. Happy cap with Rep would be about 11. Our food count allows to grow much larger.
So the Pyramids, for now, unlock a Hereditaty Rule switch.
Growing the city from this early makes the Globe Theatre a real big priority : the Globe is the building that will unlock Representation for us.
But first, we go for Litterature, the Great Library and the NE.
1000 BC situation, we're growing, cottaging our riverside and delaying further chops and roading to neighbours :
2nd GP is an Engineer, which is both good (can rush wonder) and bad (can't settle).
I won't rush the Parthenon, here, but store the GP in wait for Litterature and rush the Great Library.
Without marble, we're a little poor on hammers and, rather than get the Parthenon, I'd like to complete the G. Lib, NE and Globe asap.
So we get a 775 BC Great Library and start on the NE.
Chops are, again, being delayed in wait for Mathematics (tech path : Litterature, Drama, Maths).
400 BC Globe Theatre unlocks Representation.
We get the Hanging Gardens, click some more turns, Civil Service,
And 1 AD it is, and we look pretty safe :
Some more turns to Pacifism, then I'll hire specs, I suppose.
5 GPs produced at this point.
