Rex, you are running very thin all the leeway I can give ... must have found your "kick-ass" movie .... or being crucified by some in-law.
Any case, I am grabbing the save in 20 hrs if I don't hear from you by then.

Jeez! Slow down there, Fox. Don't you know that good things come to those who wait? Or at least...ah forget it. I suck.
Well, first off, I have to say that my turnset
(Don't worry, Paul, me neither.)
So, what's the status? We started over because our start sucked out loud. Berserker founded Pastafarianism,
and I'm left to appeal to RNGod's "happy" side. Great.
Group Objective = 4 * 2 = 8 = Learn 2 techs in the next age or future tech
Time to complete = 4 * 5 + 15 = 35 turns
Personal Objective = 2 = Capture or found a city
Okay, that's out of the way. Let's see how possible this is. For posterity, let's check where we are:
629 Turns left. If my third-grade education serves me, that means we have to do whatever the hell I wrote up there by the time we have 594 turns left. Yeah. That ain't happening. Research two classical-era techs. The quickest two I can find are Iron Working and Metal Casting, though I'm fuzzy on the eras now.
It'll take us about 10 turns to grab Bronze, another 40 for IW, then about 90 for MC. RNGod has chosen his people...poorly
There's no way we're getting htis one in on time. But try we must, right boys and girls? Well, I may let the group down, but at least I can hit my *personal* garbage, right?
Aw crap! What the &*$@ kind of sadistic RNGod are we minioning for anyway? Even soddom only got razed once! This is just one continual nut-kick after another. Well screw this. There's no way we can possible hit this, so I'm gonna pretend that getting a workboat out (in 35 turns) will help us get a settler faster.
Anyhow, some other stuff happened during my set:
Like I said. Horrible set. Failed miserably at all things minion. Sorry.

And here's the save. I played 19 to get us to a round number on years and turns.

The report is well worth the wait .... but we are going to fail the objective ... ah, so be it. Such is the will of the RNGod.
Rex, what is your personal punishment? You could roll it at the start of your next turnset though.

GreyFox
Make it so ...
Welcome back to one of the craziest SG in CFC ... first of all, one gripe:
WTH is the worker doing farming the rice outside of the city's BFC???? For that matter, he is our only unit ... jeez. No Warrior. No Scout. No nothing. Scary. The entire contingent of the Mighty RNGod Minions comprising of one whopping worker ... who is farming a rice padi that is useless to our city. Things can't be any worst.
But enough of that, it's time for the dice roll to see what He Who Is Random commands of me.
D A M N E D.
Uh ... wait a minute, there is a new amendment afterwe chicken out and reloaded the RNGod threw a temper and reset the world ...
A cultural pop, that should be chicken feed ... afterall we have the palace plus a holy city
*1 FU*KING TURNS?!!! Damned, I am screwed as well. 
And getting a Civ to improve its attitude? Look at this:
More like getting a Civ to deprove its attitude!!!!
As a consolation, we are classified as the second largest civ:
My only hope for a culture pop is to get a new city, and hope for a automatic religion spread, and get the culture pop.
Yeah, I know, that's as impossible as learning 2 techs in the next era, but I should at least put up a convincingpretense effort of trying to complete the objective, right?
With that in mind I whipped the workboat and started a settler. Not that it matters, I haven't even settled the city by the end of my turns, let alone pray for a miraculous religion spread and a culture pop.
But that is jumping the gun a bit. Before that, at my 16th turn, our 35 turns tribal objective time limit is up. Time to try more challenging positions .... uh, I mean, time for more dice rolls.
First, our tribal punishment:
Hmm ... that is easy, our city are already empty! Ha!
the next dice roll reveals how many turns we need our city to be empty ...
just 3? We can't even get it occupied in 3 turns!
Now that the punishment is out of the way, let roll the next tribal objective:
Wow, a double 6. That should be something pretty difficult.
Heh, once again, saved by the additional "OR".
A dice roll reveals:
Our luck has changed ... 3 new resources should be easy.
Here is my plan:
But to do that, we need to learn animal husandry and the wheel. So I don't know whether we want to continue with Iron Workings. Or we may continue with iron workings and hope that iron is found within our border. No matter what the next player chooses, good luck. You need it.
Oh, and for the record, the punishment for my next turnset shall be:

Hmm ... looking at my first screenshot and considering our new tribal objective, perhaps Rex (after being crucified ) had a premonition that we need to get that rice farmed .... 
Too bad I canceled the worker's farming jobon my inherited turns

Okay, to address the grouchier aspects of your report (you ass), we have NO WORKER TECHS!!! I couldn't even research them because RNGod commanded me to get all Classical. The only thing I could do was farm and, since we were pop 1, I figured hooking up a resource was more important than one more plains farm we couldn't work. True, Bronze Working came in late in my set and I could have switched to chopping forests, but trees are people, too, man.

Except for the Jews for Jesus, of course.
OK got it.
I'll switch to Animal Husbandry then The Wheel and hope for the best. May be tomorrow before I get the chance to play though.

@EDIT: Text removed here.
@Rex: yes, I know there is limited thing to do, but you can farm the wine site (like I did)
@Oz: might be wiser to do the Wheel first before animal husbandry, as wheel is cheaper, and the worker can road the resources while waiting for AH to come on line.

My main worry is that actually building the pasture will take longer than roads. I was going to switch production to work boat research to AH, finish farming the rice, pasture the cows then hook it all up. Might have to run some numbers once I load the save to see what the best way of doing things are.
GreyFox
Make it so ...
It doesn't matter which work takes longer/shorter (pasturing or roading), IMHO, the important thing is to get the worker something constructive to do earlier. Thus my suggestion of wheel before AH. Right now the chap has only the rice to farm, which should be done before either AH or wheel. Plus we need only one pasture (to complete objective), whereas we need to road both the rice and cows.
Alternatively if IW is significantly faster than AH or wheel, you may consider the gambit of completing IW first.
I suggest you let the warrior complete first ... since barb should be appearing abt now. No hurry in workboat, the bottleneck should the rice and cows.
