Well, I decided I didn't want to pick CRE here given how I evaluated it, but ORG and FIN looked better than ever so I picked Darius. The synergy between is traits is low. True, it's good for water tiles (build cheap lighthouses, and coast is 3c) which should be relevant on this map, but it's two traits that boost your economy in different ways. Org wants lots of heavily-whipped cities I'd say with a couple big ones, while FIN just wants as much pop as possible and cottages everywhere. But I think I'll be OK. 
Next question is Civ, and I'm really not sure which one to prefer. If novice doesn't take India right now (which would mean he also gets last leader pick instead of second, so it's pretty painful) it will be an option to me, and I need to figure out how good those fast workers are compared to two turns. If it's not them, then maybe France?
