I don't think I have to spoiler this, but these are my observations.
Hanging gardens is the best wonder in this game. If you have hanging gardens and an aqueduct, you can momentarily get up to 6 pop to draft.
I went stonehenge for early GP points so I could get some damn production, then oracle hanging gardens temple of artemis pyramids.
Whipping a warrior->organized religion overflow is my method of production early. One I had a forge and organized religion, the stupid latest patch seems to kill my overflow. After you make a forge in your capital, I think it would be best to run an engineer (the opportunity cost of 11 turns of growing is 22 hammers and 33 great engineer points, when you whip you gain 15 overflow). Whipping when you can finish buildings.
Settler first, because while your capital is building wonders, you need another city to start your un-rapid expansion, and build a worker. Tech polytheism first, mostly because I need a religion for organized religion. Then bee line pottery, mining-masonry, organized religion bronze working.
