pretty sure this is impossible to beat current record of t49 using catherine. They founded 9 cities total (one settler from hut) along with having creative trait, it's just impossible to get that many settlers that fast without IMP or huts. Since it's only warlord you'll be extremely lucky to have another ai found a city before t49, so you can only conquer 1 city without triggering conquest. Also, shaka starting with hunting so even if you wanted to warrior rush you need to build that warrior first which sets back your first settler/worker even more
