Want a monopoly on World Wonders, or at least enough of them to win a Cultural victory in the early 20th century AD? Then play as Gandhi. His Industrious trait will help a lot, esp. if you're lucky enough to build cities next to stone &/or marble.
Want Great People early & often? Want to spawn enough Prophets to build all 7 shrines? Want Engineers to hurry Wonders? Want Artists to culture-bomb your cities? Then play as Saladin. His Philosophical trait, combined with the Pacifism civic, will greatly boost your GPP.
Want a Conquest victory in the BC's? Then play as Montezuma. His Aggressive trait & early UU (Jaguar) will greatly help you prepare an army large enough to conquer all the AI's cities!
The other trait for all 3 of the above is Spiritual. Most civs with this trait start with Mysticism, which helps a lot if you want to found all 7 rels. You can change civics/rels without anarchy (although you still have to wait a few turns before switching again), & production time for temples is halved.
