I've seen that liberalism can be obtained very early, actually, to my noob perception, it seems that some players manage to get liberalism obscenely early
so I wanted to see if I can learn a valuable lesson from anyone interested in pursuing the liberalism race on what I hope is an easy map.
The post in which I saw a very early liberalism date is this:

The leader is Gandhi, Spiritual, in order to facilitate the transitions between building civics and GPP civics, and Philosophical, for the double GPP rate.
The difficulty is deity and the speed is epic. The events and goody huts aren't enabled.
The map is Pangaea, because I wanted all leaders to be met as early as possible, to facilitate tech trades. There is enough room for 6 cities here, I think, so it should be enough for the main national wonders. You can also block what might be called a peninsula rather easily.
This is the start:

The only modification I made to the map was to move the warrior so that you may get better information on the best possible settling spot. I did reload a lot until I saw stone and a lot of food, though.
The leaders were chosen so that the game may be peaceful and the deity research may help fuel the player's progress through trades. The leaders are:
- Darius
- Elizabeth
- Mansa Musa
- Pericles
- Roosevelt
- Willem van Oranje
Those should offer one religion for the whole map and great research rates, but my knowledge of AI behaviour isn't the best, so I might be wrong.
The goal here is to get liberalism as early as possible and to be the first to it in your game. Please offer a screenshot with the liberalism tech choice and a savegame file from the turn you win the liberalism race.
(though I can't guarantee I can open all save files from any mods)
If you would like to continue the game after liberalism and would rather delay the tech so that you may get a more expensive freebie, feel free to do so, but please offer the save and screenshot for the earliest lib date you could get and then just reload from a save file 1 turn earlier than finishing lib, for instance or another earlier file.
I'd also like to ask you to offer some pointers on how you played the game.
Thanks and I hope you have fun.
