No need to learn the game! Just go into the editor and make the settler a Unique Unit for your own civilisation.

BTW The game runs normally if do you this except the AI only gets one city plus goody hut settlers if any.

That means the end of AI settler diarhea, hard to get outresearched, little need for diplomacy, not much culture flipping problems, miniscule invasion problems and pretty well solves all the other problems Coracle mentioned he was having in this and the other thread.

I've had 155 gpt from the Russians... plus Ivory as well for twenty turns.

In my games, I only get gpt from the Japanese, sometimes also from the Greeks. Everybody else just offers something like 5 gold for everything I have to offer.
Once I managed to get good deals from both the Japanese and the Greeks at the same time (I had a lot of extra luxuries) and for 20 turns I had an income of 100+ gold. After 20 turns, before I renewed the deals, I checked my income. It had dropped to around -10 gpt.

A good thing about the AI is that it never offers you something it doesn't have. That's why you won't get hundreds of gpt, the AI simply doesn't have more to offer.
