Yep - three food specials (albeit one of them will be Farmed before a Plantation goes on it) and riverside Grassland Gems - can't be bad.

I tend not to use the capital as a dedicated Great Person Farm from the mid-game onwards due to the Bureaucracy civic, which rewards and production, but if you choose another Civic or move your Palace or just offset the effectiveness of Bureaucracy a bit for your food-based economy, then 'great'. I guess the Baray adds a little bit more 'icing' with the +1.

Best of luck.

Obviously seeing more map might change things but I would probably beeline Code of Laws (Caste System) and Monarchy (Hereditary Rule) in order to maximize population and run the city as an EARLY GAME GP farm. As you open up more buildings that enable specialists swap out of Caste System, and through those buildings (and Calendar) phase out the need for HR. Post-Astronomy I would convert the city into a Military Production city with West-Point and probably Iron Works. Once you get Guilds and Chemistry you will be able to setup workshops on the grassland and quite a few watermills on the river. The hills will be mined at that point as well.

You should try and locate another GP farm where you can build the NE to take over for generating late game GP as they get more expensive.

You may not have an optimal volume of GP this way, but under Caste System you should be able to get the kinds you want and late game, when GE or GSpy buildings are online, you can actually focus on trying to generate one of those and have a decent chance of doing so without waiting forever.

Nice starting location - I'd be curious to see more of the map too. Your capital has some great commerce potential, not to mention that it's coastal. It's not void of production either - you have a lot of flexability here. I wouldn't make a set strategy though until seeing more of the map and what opportunities you've got for expansion.

Trust me when I say the map was completely crap after that capital.It was medium sized island(tundra and desert) that I shared with the Inca.It had a small ismuthus that connected to the rest of the Pangea map with a bunch of warmongers.That spot had the best city location for a GP farm.
