Wow, beautiful looking start. Two different choices of riverside hill w/neighboring lux+stone, both of them good for wonder building (Marble, forest). SW spot looks better for food. Marsh will slow you down eventually, but not too bad for the short term. Is this the Deity start you said that was super hard?

* Gold yield +68/turn decent, having large army.
* I hate persian 3 movement trebuchets .
Hi, how do you manage to get your science to 165 this early and even while your fighting. I am always struggling to keep up with the AI in science on deity even if i go straight for NC and focus all my efforts on science. (Finish either tradition/liberty and then straight on to Rationalisme)
Spain can get one that fast. Was it Christianity? Spain, Ethipopia and Celts usually pick Chrsitianity.
There are some good hammers here. What about going straight to the wheel for the UB asap?
yeah, it was christianity. and youll want wheel asap for comp bows anyway. i havent played Monty in a while and I thoughi Floating Gardens were only for lake tiles but seeing as rivers allow them is really nice. opens up my settling options rather than just looking for lakes. im guessing oasis doesnt count for Fl Gardens?
