@AcaMetis
Judging from the posts and replies, it seems you've created several trade-offs (BW or Pot first, farm flood plains or cottage it, 2 workers or 1 before the settler...). Another success of your map creation
.
I agree with your concept of "
final exam" in another thread. In fact, after several games at Monarch, I guess it's time to think about moving up a level. Currently I'm trying to win at Emperor level with Fin leader; or practise some tough games at Monarch with a poor start + weakest leaders (Toku or Charlie). Sury's traits are TBH "in the middle" - not the strongest, far from the worst. So I'll skip this NC and just watch - not for reasons like "the map is boring", but just because the leader is neither the best choice to challenge a new level nor for a "final exam". This Sury map you provided to the community looks interesting, both for playing and watching.

Looking forwards to seeing your videos of NC 289 and of this one
A small suggestion: when you record this Sury game, after you finish Agri and pick up the next tech, would you mind doing a quick analyse of "BW first vs Pot first", such as explaining the pros & cons of each path, how you make your decision between these two, and how that decision affects the next phase of your game? Thanks in advance.
Both BW and Pot are acceptable tech choice. Choosing between BW or Pot is much more subtle than "choosing bewteen BW and Myst", and that's what makes the discussion interesting.
