I've never been really keen on RtR India, but Fast Workers seem really good again with the tech cost scaling changes to the ancient-era techs. Well, I mean, they were always really good, but India's drawback is so much less now.

I agree, of course if I get an agri and a AH resource the first worker will probably have to spend a few turns roading random stuff but after BW they'll go on an unstoppable chopping spree. They'll also help chopping some early barracks where I'll need culture (too bad we start with mysticism really).
Here is the starting BFC sandbox for you to look at and start planning, if you choose to do so. This accurately represents what the starting BFC will look like when you load into the game. The file has any strategic resources stripped out (since you would not know those on turn 0).
We reserve the right to make any changes to the BFC, but this is at least very close to what it will look like in game, so should be dependable for planning purposes. No screenshot for the thread too because that's just time consuming right now for me to go take a picture of each one too.

With 4 other civs starting with myst it's going to be tough. So I've come up with a better plan. If one of my 4 myst buddies go for meditation along with me it will be decided by a coinflip. It's not great. On the other side if I go for Poly I win a turn of research thanks to my 3/0/1 corn tile that I'll be working for the first 5t. If one of the four goes Poly first he'll be a few beakers short of 8 turning it, and I'll get it one turn before him. So I'm considering going poly first, then agri->mining->BW and FW->warrior->warrior (brings me to size 3)->FW->settler. That gives me a development headstart thanks to two FWs, even if the second city would be slightly delayed.
