Shallow is the biggest threat by far. He’s also got +6 inherent food on us, plus, presumably another 12 to 18 food. We are going to go get 2 more cities with production.
We are also running 0% science/prepping for an academy. I think we shouldn’t worry about those just yet.
However, I think a library is the wrong choice in forza; we need workers and units. That’s going to be a production city, I think, with the number of hills?
But let’s focus on taking down RFS; any more refinements or tactical considerations?

T85 Part 2:
  Coeurva has build Stonehenge in Schilda

That's a huge game changer on my north-western border. I'm seriously considering attacking Coeurva just now. He just whipped Schilda, so it won't grow immediately and I have the following force at hand:
4 swordsman
2 axeman
5 chariots
2 more swordsman in T86.
Unfortunately my units are a bit out of place as you can see here:

Right now he has the following in Schilda:
1 archer with hill promotion
1 unpromoted archer
1 spearman with shock and medic.

Without the 2 extra swordsman I could be on the hill 1S of Schilda in T87. I intend to build a road 1W of the rice for this.

I also increased the gap in power between me and Coeurva.

And I can finish another axeman in Forza in T87.

Yeah. That is absurdly aggressive.

He is weaker than even RFS.

Oh and I think he did not whip Schilda. In fact did he grow Schilda at all? I could be running all my troops into an auto-raze. Why Coeurva

I believe the city won’t autoraze if it has had a border pop (rarely ever happens that borders pop without growth first, but I have a foggy memory of this being relevant in some past game)
I also agree immediate attack on Coerva. Stonehenge + Gold is a decent prize to claim, and with Stonehenge pressing culture against you that border will need huge garrisons to defend unless you take that city. Good luck!
