deity game + strange map = not sure what to do

[CivNoobie]

playing with Mali (aka easy mode, but still difficult); no stone or marble, no horse, very little happiness source.

i'm stranded on a peninsula with little room for settlement, it seems like GLH would be a good option here but the AI got it before i even finished teching sailing! way too fast for me, also squeezed out a 5th city on a very bad spot.

grabbed CS at 300 BC but not sure if i should continue onto education or go for something else.

see for yourself

I am not a deity player at all, but I can see winning lib is possible with GS bulbs, but you work no scientists. Tinbuktu and the pig/rice city should go into it, 1 more worker is not needed here as well as aqueduct. Maybe straight to optics is a good way too
