Well, rather uneventful turnset;
Tech went Mysticism ->Pottery,
Capital production was Settler->Warrior->Barracks (only placeholding until size 4) ->Worker (not yet finished - was 9 turns from start).
Osaka was founded (one turn late since a forest grew on the tile we wanted to settle.
Settler was helped by a chop, other than that, Worker moves were roading to Osakas new location, then farming its Corn. Now roading Corn.
Some highlights;
We meet someone who shares our opinions on vikings:
And our scout meets someone he would rather avoid:
Finally, at the end of the turnset, we have a Warrior fogbusting north, but south of us, my eyes spot... A barbarian Archer!
The next player should adopt Slavery on the inhabited turn to get the Osaka Monument up (growing in 1), and to pump out some Settlers and Workers from capital.
Teching is set to IW, no beakers in it yet.
Save attached.
To war, ladies and gentlemen
So do we want to try rushing with chariots instead? I'm worried it's getting a little late for an efficient rush, although it's still doable if we commit to it.
Good point with the focus of EPs
)
I will try to play my set tomorrow! Please specify what you mean by settling "4e1e", as this is obviously a typo...
)... but I guess finishing the settler at size 3 is OK (we need to finish the escorting warrior though). In this case, there is no point in switching to slavery right now (perhaps for a second worker or first monument). 
... I was thinking "oh I hope roads will be in place when we settle our next city", and obviously forgot Japan starts with the tech
