Why such a rush to The Wheel here? What will roads give you? They're a waste of time at this point. Generally, you should be putting roads off as long as possible. If you need the health or happiness bonus (you don't here), you build a road. If you need a road for a trade route between cities, you build a road. If you need to hook up a strategic resource (copper, iron, horses) for military development, build a road. And if your workers are idle with nothing better to do, build a road. If none of those are the case, odds are good that researching The Wheel is a waste of valuable beakers you could be spending elsewhere, and actually building the roads is a waste of valuable worker-turns you could be using to develop your empire.

the wheel is a prereq for pottery, which you need for cottages
Map size and game speed are matters of personal taste - I don't like to play Huge/Marathon, but if you do, then do so
If you're keen to improve your game, I recommend the Noble's Club series. The latest one is here, and is a large-size map using Suleiman of the Ottomans. You can choose the Noble-level save (with or without huts), then run a Custom Scenario and set all the other parameters you want like game speed, difficulty, and whether events are on.
