Perhaps you killed all the barbarians. Isabella keeps new settlers back when there is even a single barb around, it seems.
In my case, it was because I hemmed her in. I settled my second and third cities in her direction; because she likes to settle her second and third cities close to herself, they ended up being in very sub-optimal locations.
This is my first GOTM on here 
I settled Washington on the horses which got another silver that was lucky. Initially changed to bureaucracy and serfdom. I didn't realise a mercantilism economy could be so powerful. Started researching printing press which was a bad choice on renaisance start up cause taking ages to get many villages.
Washington built a workboat.
Settled New York in range of corn iron oasis and pigs.
Explored the map found a nice place for Boston on flood plains north. Was thinking about hemming Isabelle in which i think could have been a plains city on a hill but took open borders for no apparent reason.
Washington built a worker.
While camping on borders 1 of the initial longbow saw 3 workers come to build a farmer. Was to much to resist declared in 1430 stole 3 workers.
Changed civics to slavery and mercantlism.
Changed production to barracks whipped them slightly later and sent 3 workers to build the iron road.
Built mainly archers some trebuchets. Attacked farmers and scared workers.
Started building macemen , knights and another trebuchet.
bombarded Barcelona which was on tundra on top of the iron.
Assaulted Barcelona with longbows around 1520 ish . Was lucky and won a 10% but had plenty of back ups. Burned Barcelona to the ground.
Back up of trebuchets , macemen and knights arrive. Took Madrid in 1550
Built settler and settled Philadelphia west of new york with gold corn stone and incense in range.
Encountered barbarians id assumed cause took so long that there wasnt any on the map cause settings didn't mention it. Army is 2 maces 5 longbows 1 treb 1 archer and 2 knights. The knights are running everywhere and slaughter everything. They are level 3 going on 4 and barely have enough time to heal up before hunting again
Built caravel in Madrid.
Started building heroic epic in Washington.
Finished printing press and started on astronomy. Found Bismark and a green one think its Suleiman but i forget
Built 2nd caravel put explorer on it and went exploring.
Going for national epic in Madrid and 2 more settlers in 1650. I regret not settling more cities by now cause the upkeep really isn't very harsh.
The plan is to settle entire island and land on other continent and smash them all

My isabella didn't make it past the renaissance.
If I found a metal resource and I would find the first AI to be closeby, I had planned to go to war immediately. Like everyone else I found I was alone except for Isabella.... making her an easy target.
I built macemen, trebuchets and knights to finish her off. She built workers, longbowmen and started on settlers. Her second city was a poor choice, her capital was alright. Her next city was placed overlapping the capital, just when I wanted to attack.
She popped a second settler but was low on defense when I declared. It took a little while to finish her off because I also rexed a bit myself to capture barb cities (hey, they're free aren't they).
I'm thinking that at 1650 I had already finished her off and was on my way to meet the other AIs (or might already have met them)... not much else to say other than that I teched and went to war with them late-game... but that is not part of this spoiler thread.

I have a question that I hope I can get answered. I am posting here because I believe it to be impossible for the question to be spoilerish pre-1650.
Does the Renaissance start effect Corporations in ANY way?

Grifftavian

No. You do not have knowledge of Corporations at the start of a Renaissance start, so still have to research that and the other enabling techs.
Ronnie1
Deity
Then I am very confused....they were part of my strategy, I have the techs, Great People and the resources, but I can't found.
The wrong civic?
I used corps in this game, starting era shouldnot matter.
Did you research tech "the corporation"?
Did you try to find corp in your cap? In other city you cannot.
What civic is wrong for encorporating? O_o
mabraham
Deity
That tech is necessary.
Not true. It's desirable to found a corporation in your Wall St city, but you may found one in any of your cities that has a relevant resource that is not the home city of a corporation that competes for the same resource.
Mousing over the list on the civics screen tells you. State Property nullifies corporations, and this means you cannot found them. Mercantilism nullifies foreign corporations.
So either you're using State Property, or the city in which you were trying to found the corporation had no relevant resource(!).

Dahhhhhh....stupid human I am. It has been so long since I actually used a corp....

Missed circumnavigation in my game, and built a galleon before I remembered "Oh yeah, Washington is blocked in by ice". Forgot again 100 years later and built a second galleon in Washington

You can unblock Washington by building two forts, or one city on the ice and one fort.
mabraham
Deity
Depending where you built Washington, that is. A canal fort chain cannot include any square that is not coastal, and must be inside your culture, so even if you move the initial settler only 1N, you'll struggle to get enough Washington-only culture far enough south in a timely fashion.

All the snow tiles were adjacent to coast since a sub can go under those ice tiles. I built two forts to get a caraval out of there. 22 turns of wasted worker action. One was not in my culture initially but may have been by the time the forts were done.

Or you could go capture Madrid, and build Caravels there!

That won't free all the ships in the bay of Washington though. Without forts you need to wait for the teleporter that comes with Future Tech #32.

I built a galley in Washington before I saw it would be locked in the bay. It was later killed by a spawned barb galley, and to get my seafood back I actually built another ship (caravel) there and left it on patrol. Too much on my hands to bother freeing it up with forts, as it was quickly obsolete anyhow.
