I wasn't actually going to even bother with a report, but I think I had the earliest war for reasons I can't entirely figure out.
Here is the report.
Failed somehow by researching or trading for alphabet then saving the game
.
Summary:
Executed a flawless traditional CS slingshot, founded Conf and Taoism in the same city.
HC declared war on me very early, and razed one of my cities with a sneak attack from the sea.
I retaliate with a war chariot that was scouting his territory and take one of his cities.
There's some more back and forth action before the war concludes.
The game ends just before I learn Liberalism, after the oopsie.
Speculation:
AI's get pissed off by Slingshots - they think an insane tech lead equates to poor military and automatically declare war.

. Anyway, It looks like you had a really strong start, I normally get nervous about losing the Oracle and almost always end up with a tech of lesser value (Theology, CoL, Metal Casting) than CS, in my game I took CoL. I think I will have to try this CS slingshot, I have read about, but sort of always figured it would not work on Monarch and above. I always get nervous that some Ind. civ out there gets Marble at there start or second city.
