1. We didn't pick Joao: This game used random picks normalized, so we were given Joao.
2. Don't forget that Barbs are on, so our REXing will also be limited by keeping our lands adequately protected. This means we need to sneak in military builds (Or get out a production city and pump out military from there all night long).
3. If I'm whipping, I have no need for hammers, just food and preferrably some commerce. This makes the fish superior to the deer. The point wasn't that I was going to make Mines: But if it was all about working improved tiles, you would. But it's not, it's all about getting the most of your tile yields, which is the whip, which is food with little care for raw production value because I am producing 30H per pop. Commerce to get tech faster, IMO, is better in this instance.
