The in-game music has been left on, so I begin by turning it off. Check the other preferences and generally leave "as is", except for the Wonder initiation pop-up, which is switched on.
Now on to the game.
It was suggested that the worker move NE. I'm going to move N onto the plains, as it will reveal just as much information. Also the plains tile will be irrigated quicker than the grassland would be mined, saving a turn to get the same amount of benefit.
We reveal nothing but additional plains tiles and the river curving to the NW. So I found Vienna on the starting position.
I start a warrior as our first build. His job will be to scout out the lands around our capital. I want to delay contact with other civs (and hence the declaration of war) until we have a barracks and some military.
Start Bronze working @ 100%, due in 20 turns.

Our first warrior is trained and is sent to explore the South. Since we're located at the South of th minimap, this is the direction to explore in order to avoid early contacts.
(6) 3700BC
Plains tile irrigated and roaded. Switch our citizen over to it (from the bonus grassland) for the extra commerce.
(7) 3650BC
Our warrior spies a goody hut. Better left unpopped at this point, I may pop it by founding a city next to it.
(10) 3500BC
Our fearless warrior reaches the South coast, a second warrior is trained, our borders expand, and Vienna grows to size 2.
The second warrior is sent out East along the river to scout out more city sites.
Luxuries to 20% to Stop vienna from rioting.
There's a forest game square within our borders now, so our second citizen works that square, until the mine completes on the bonus grassland.
(11) 3450BC
Mine completes on the bonus grassland next to a river, citizen reassigned for an extra gold per turn. I can turn luxuries down to 10%.
(13) 3350BC
Third warrior trained. I'm going to keep this guy at home. Luxury tax reduced to zero. Settler started.
Move the citizen on the irrigated plains to the forest game for two turns, so that the settler will be produced when Vienna grows to size three, with no loss of shields.
(15) 3250BC
Citizen moved back to irrigated plains from forest game.
(19) 3050BC
Bronze Working is due next turn, so I dial science down to 70%, netting us two gold.
(20) 3000BC
Bronze working comes in. I set research to The Wheel (let's get a jump on where the horses are), but this can be vetoed by the next player without any loss.
Our first settler is created. I an going to leave him unmoved, so the next player can decide where to put him.
The worker has completed his roading project, and is also left unmoved. His next project will probably be dependent on where the next city goes.
Vienna has been switched to Barracks. Once this is complete, spearmen and settlers should be trained.
Our exploring warrior to the South is uncovering the coast in a westward direction. Our warrior to the North is moving East.
