Notes: the map looks food resource poor, BUT the floood plains make up for that to some extent. Because it is a mirror game, one question that I askis: why should we have awesome land? All awesome land with Joao would do is make teching easier. This land will make it harder to press expansion and tech at the same time (limited forests slowing expansion), which makes me think that it is a very good starting area for the type of game that we want to play.

General strategy:
No wonders takes Rep of the table early on, so I will be using Libs/scientists in large, old cities if needed, and cottages on every single tile possible, using this thread as guidance for what to do in limited food areas: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=301724. It needs lots of workers to do though...but I don't have much else to build.
Academies though? Wasted most of the time, except in an NE city with lots of settled specs or caste...but I will never run caste, so I'm not going to bother with the early Academy. I may end up ignoring the GP game quite a lot, focussing mainly on getting Shrines up and running for more gold, then Academies where possible.
I intend to end up using US/FS/Emancipation/SP/FR as well, but one question I do have is if I will have a phase of Merc/Rep? That will depend on tech direction...but because Democracy needs PP, which needs machinery, but not Banking.

When marking potential city sites, why use 'a'?
Pure laziness?

Cyneheard and myself hooked corn at the same turn; I however have an extra worker turn on a farm. I wonder what he does next...because I think he went for worker2 at size 1 as well, as that is what the demoscreen suggests.

I'm more likely to give you a reward 
Because I don't have the time, it is play asap and then send onwards. I only did that as a rough guide when Cyneheard went to the shops and I had a few minutes to think.

Ha fair enough. Well, since you're in a post war, may i spam your thread by asking a demographic related question?
No? Well, i'm going to do it anyway and just hope you answer.
How does the 'population' figure on the demo's work? It's not a overall summary of just the pop in cities. that's all i've deduced thus far.
Edit: edited post-war to post war as it changed the entire meaning of, well, everything.
