Quick and dirty 4 specialists @ size 6 on the hill, with chopped madrassa. Otherwise lackluster ; could slowly grow with grass cottages (up to size 10). Another argument for specialist economy and early pyramids.

I did a few test runs with the same map settings and civs. Even though I alone start with Mysticism, I'd only get a religion half the time (if that) unless it was my 1st tech. Though I doubt it'll be that tight of a race with humans, there's no luxes so far and Arabia needs many extra techs just to get going.

I can't afford to waste time on 2-3 extra religious techs but neither can I afford to stay at the 4 pop happy cap. So meditation after fishing ensures I get it without delay, then agriculture should arrive in time for a fished-up worker.

Astérix will circle around to scout along the river southwards. Hopefully he can find a good spot for cottages. Gold and gems would be swell, too.
