In my current Deity trial, it's around 0 AD, I'm 3rd in everything important, have 3 WoW (GLib!) in my capital, and didn't fight a single war so far - but I'll soon start attacking myself.
Settings:
80% land Pangea, wet, 3 billion
Normal Aggression. Mid-Level barbs (that make it easier, since the AI starting units are occupied).
Hand-Picked AI Civs: No AGR. Several IND (need to be able to trade for Masonry ASAP). No EXP (not that important, just because of the huts).
Civ:
AGR/COM, what else...now guess which Civ has this traits in RaR? Small hint - the Capital is not Jenne

.
Decent, but not overpowered start; for example, I have only a single Lux.
So, what we'd need is:
- Iron and Horses.
- Fresh Water, Hills/ Mountains.
- At least one Lux and one Food bonus for the Capital (or at least the obvious second city spot).
- Some kind of 'backyard'.
- No AGR neighbor.
Don't think we're asking for too much...the AI
always gets that.
Civ and World Shape:
Either SEA + Archipelago, or AGR + Pangea. Continents seem the worst choice, fewer Neighbors tend to pick on you early on.
