I'm here to share my experience on Online speed, specially, online, continent, deity, disaster level 2, random map. Trading/Alliance with AI is banned since there is problem with AI valuing things on online speed.
Continent maps perfectly balance land and sea.
T0: Norway
Although it works better on slower game speed, on online speed it is still best of the best.
T1: Egypt, Korea, Maori, China, Aztec, Nubia, Sumeria, Russia, Greece, Indonesia
These Civs grant you a significant bonus throughout the game. Edited, add Indonesia to Tier 1 since I just realized the strength of getting Religious Settlement as early as T6.
T2: Scythia, Australia, America, Ottoman, Japan, Zulu, Spain, Persia, Rome, France(Medici), Macedon, India, Persia
These Civs either gives you a moderate bonus throughout the game, or gives you a timing that you can't resist. (for example, Spanish Conquisidator)
T3: England, Brazil, Germany, Arabia, Cree, Inca, France(Eleanor), Kongo, Inca, Mapuche, Mongolia, Netherlands, Phoenicia, Poland, Scotland, Sweden
These Civs are a little better than blank, for their ability may be used in some time. It seems that Kongo and Inca has good starting bias so may be better than T2 Civs with bad starting bias(such as Japan). But I don't know how starting bias works so cannot fully conclude this. If they born on same quality of landmass Japan shall be better.
T4: Georgia, Khmer, Mali, Canada
Either totally blank or negative Civ, at least in my experience.

I will probably have to bounce back and forth between Deity and Emperor though.
