Norway should have the +3 housing when settling on coast, as if it were fresh water. That would make it at least decent to settle coastal cities.

Scythia and Sumeria should be God tier. Those early units are pretty much unstoppable.

Don't forget Scythia's bonus also apply for the Industrial Era Cavalry. Spamming two 62 power units at once is quite powerful.

Seriously, though, the early game is really awesome. You can be as agressive as you like, go for an early religion or a strong science right from the start, then you plan out your eurekas and inspirations to get the things you need the most for your empires, you spam settlers to secure your...
