Victoria laughed at the idea of the Celts conquering the world. "Yes, Brennus, you did conquer the world, but only because the British Isles were so unbelievably large and full of fish and stone. (and the modmod had a bug where civs won't found cities) I'm going to one-up you and conquer the world without any gimmicks like Statues of Zeus and I'll even do it as an empress!"
So where to get land since England is rather small in the "real world" (in fact it's already much larger proportionally in the Rhye map)? Answer: the Baltics, Kiev and Hungary, without which both Russia and Germany will be nerfed significantly hammer-wise. And thankfully we start with 4 settlers, so 3 of them can go squat while our capital concentrates on trade and science.
So she founds Southampton (so that Newcastle can also be founded), sends 3 settlers to go squat in Poland and Hungary, and exchanges gifts with the French for an early peace treaty. Civics are the usual for medieval Britain.
