    The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

      I would have irrigated the Wines. Other than that, you're looking good.

        We're talking serious Palace jump material here. Definitely wouldn't build anything too permanent in Amsterdam... Could raise productivity 2x by moving the capital west.

            WTF??!! Since when can irrigated Wines generate 3 food under despotism?

                Theseus:

                grassland= 2 food
                Wine= +1 food
                irrigation= +1 food
                Despotism= -1 food
                Total food= 3 food


                Make sense?

                    Like I said, I was just screwing around, so I didn't focus quite as much as I should have... (the vodka didn't help ).

                      Here are the first 40 turns (with an addendum, because I ain't no dirty spammer), with a rough DAR and the save:

                      Set research as low as possible, aiming at writing in 50 turns. Build warrior->worker->settler->granary->settler

                      3000BC: Settler has been produced, and moves to 44. Builds warriorx2 (both MP), then starts on Granary to become the first worker pump.

                      2670BC: meet the Ottomans, hold out trading until a good trade comes along...

                      2550BC: meet Americans, who have alpha, pottery, BW, WC, CB, Masonry. I trade Alpha, pottery and 18 gold with Ottomans for all of the afforementioned techs (which they also have). They both, after another couple of turns, have IW, Myst and Wheel. T, is this Demigod?

                      2430BC: 1st granary comes online, in the capital, which is at 10 food, and pop 4, perfect to start pumping out settlers every 4 turns...

                      2150BC: 3 cities (including capital). Placements are 44 (Rotterdam) and 87 (The Hague), both of which will become worker pumps. The capital is a 4 turn pump, I have 324 gold in the bank and 13gpt, writing in ten. One granary already built and another two in production.

                      1790BC: Discover Writing, trade it for 18g+IW+wheel with the Ottomans, and for myst with America. Tech parity at last, Philo in 22 turns @ 70% science, 30% lux (lux will shortly be decreasing.)

                              Wow, lots of wine to drink!

                              Well the extra food from wine won't arrive until leaving despotism, but once it does, your population will explode!
