So, with Team Care Bears as our team, we have Victoria of India near us. This means they'll likely be suited for rapid early expansion like us, only they have different bonuses. (E.g. we have faster worker production and border pops, while they have faster settlers and the Fast Worker with 3 moves.) The good news is that they don't have a military UU like the Roman or Sumerian teams that would make us cautious, but we do have to be careful once we're bordering their culture, because the fast worker can surprise us by putting a road on a forested flatland tile or a forestless hill tile.
At the moment, we should just be concerned with getting our cities developed and getting an acceptable border agreement (that doesn't involve us conceding too much!). We won't be able to explore the land between us completely until at least turn 60, so hopefully by then they'll be amenable to extending my proposed NAP (assuming they accept it). If we get horses, we should consider putting 2 chariots up in the land between us as a sentry net. Note: I suggested a NAP until turn 60, since that means we'll have both AH and BW, in time for us to get chariots, axes, and spears. If you have a different turn number in mind, feel free to speak up.
One thing I noticed; judging from the placement of the gold and the forested tiles, it looks like we are basically guaranteed to be able to work our gold before they are UNLESS they put the cows and gold in the first ring, which means their second city can't share food tiles with the capital. They are not creative, so for a fast gold tile they really do need to have it in the first ring.
