Do barbarian kills earn you Great Admiral points?
I just finished a Maya game where I took an admiral for my 3rd free Great Person; I think it was bak'tun 7. It was not hard to always end his turn on a deep ocean tile. I had the entire ocean explored (including all the empty part in the middle in case Krakatoa was out there) before I researched astronomy. I'd never tried that before, but it works pretty well. OTOH, all the other civs found out sooner that I was a warmonger.
If the game pace was slower I'd probably settle on the copper next to the mountain. On quick, I think I will settle in place because it looks almost as good, and an expo can go by the mountain (maybe on the oranges)
I've never gotten that Sacred Sites cheese thing to work. It almost works for me, but then somebody like Poland always runs away with culture and I can never overtake them. Dromons and raging barbs and an admiral might be the way to make it work, moreso than the Byzantine extra belief.
Honor or Liberty...?

Never tried the SS strategy before.
