It wasn't obvious to me at first, but this is a very nice map.
Capital is absolutely insane and I also support the idea of going a quick granary+lighthouse there.
I think it's important to squeeze in a helper city to help hold the clams when the whipping anger is too large though.
Had I rolled a similar map myself I would have gone for GLH very early, that would have been absolutely brutal here.
I went alfa very early in my playthrough (T57) and traded for agri+AH, then math T67, and currency T76 bulbed philo T83 and got CS T98.
Culture-flipped the barb city with the aid of some caste artists.
I went into HR+Caste too early, should have remained there to do some more whipping (to spread tao easier and to build cothons which I didn't think about, but they very nice.
I was waiting a long time to get health resources in trades, but it doesn't look like they have any surpluses, should perhaps have paid more attention to access to freshwater and less brutal chopping. (Most forests went into chopping more workers.
Farmed everything and in the process of cottaging it now as cities are almost at health-cap.
