Horses. Domination. /shrug
Turn 90, probably would have been sub 80 if the RNG had not placed 3 civ capitals deep in the "Great Forest."
Started in the NW corner, mountain area. Had 4 horses next to capital when I was done researching AH. Honor tree down to double xp. First 2 horses went with the GG from SP east. Next 2 horses went south, followed by 2 chariot archers. They all ended up hip deep in marsh/trees to get to the final 2 capitals.
Too much of of CiV is dependent on the RNG for map generation. And not to beat a dead horse, but something significant needs to change about horses in the ancient/classical era. This wasn't a challenge, rather it was a race to see whether I could find the optimal pathing to get to the enemy capitals as fast as I could.
Without instant heals, probably another 8 turns at most.
