My starting position:



For some reason, an area to the E is revealed. It is not nearly as nice as my spot, so I don't think it's Romeo (and I wouldn't think Akots would put us so close), but it may be another AI, so I will keep an eye on it. Hopefully, it is not an unnecessary distraction.

For the start, it looks like I have corn, pigs and fish in the cross range. Cows and ivory very closs also. That’s a lot of food!

Corn plain with farm (AGR) = 4f + 1 shield
Pig grass with pasture (AH) = 6f
Fish with net (fishing) = 4f + 2 com, 6f with lighthouse

Move Quecha SE, nothing new to see

Settle in place -> Quecha
I decide to start with research fish (6T) so I can build a workboat and work a 2 gold tile early. Once I know which religion (buddist or Taoist) that Romeo went for, I can switch out research to that while working the fish. I should know in 10 or 12turns. Later, I will probably go for Pottery (via wheel), building a worker after 2 or 3 Quecha’s which will really just keep the barbs away.

Here's how things look after I settled in place:
