I think the game is on hold until I finish the rest of the players.
zanth/Bacchus - Victoria (Fin/Imp) of the Ottomans (AGR/WHE, Janissary/Hammam)
Background:
Zanth: PB17 AlaePB1
Bacchus:PB12 PB13 PB18 AlaePB1
Players:
I have skim over Zanth threads but I can't really said much about him, to be honest I was mostly looking for pretty pictures and not paying much attetion. Bacchus is a more balanced version of Gavagai. I think he is more empathic and he put more emphasis on gaining an advantage through building than by fighting. With his leader they probably should go for a quick horizontal expansion. Although a gamble for the oracle or GLH wouldn't be crazy for Bacchus. I think that Bacchus would sacrifice some expansion for a wonder and since he is IMP he wouldn't be harming much his growth curve. He is also prompt to oportunictic attacks but not full war early. I think they could
Skill level: 6.7
Inside his start:Ottomans are terrible, well not terrible but I don't like thhen. Wait, I'm not racist. I mean I don't like their civ. Umm that sounds even worse.
Anyway If he is going for a early wonder I fully expected he would do it in his second city. I could see him going worker-settler-worker. With a warrior in there somewhere. TEch path Min-BW-Pottery or maybe AH?
Random prediction He would start next to gavagai, and get axe rush by him.

Azza - Suryavarman (Cre/Exp) of America (AGR/FISH, Navy SEAL/Frontier Post)
Background: Dunno, too many? 
Player: Azza pinkdot someone. Azza's city is raze. Azza doesn't know what to do but attack. Azza becomes hard to kill. Azza is eliminated 120 turns later.
Azza don't report much but I think this would pretty much sum up everything that I could say.
Skill level: 5.6
Inside his start: Sury is nerf but still prety good. America has good starting techs. Probably two workers before a settler and the he will settler on your face!
Random prediction: Azza will get pinkdot by someone on turn 27.

You never know, maybe *this* is the game where Azza expands in a measured fashion and actually garrisons his aggressive plants.

Mardoc, I'm never serious I'm just writing random silly things to get views and posts.

It's working 
I didn't want to just post a +1 or something like that. Wanted to at least pretend to contribute to the thread

Catching up here 
My first reaction was that because of those flood plains and grass river tiles you don't want to delay pottery too long (and Inca won't be that good), but I'm still interested to see how useful that modded terrace will be for you. Anyways, EXP/CHA sounds like a fun combo. Stonehenge does not give any happiness for you in this trait, right?
Btw, nice opponent analyses and I had to laugh about your micro writings. That's something I find myself doing in the early game as well

Hi Fintourist! Nice to see you here (moar post )
I want to finish my analisis before to actually start talking about he game. So lets finish this right now.
suttree - Catherine (Cre/Imp) of China (AGR/MIN, Cho-Ku-Nu/Pavilion)
Background: PB11 PB13 PB14
Player: If I have to describe suttree in one word I'd say "dificult-to-descibed" . Questionable moves in PB11 and PB13 lead me to believe that suttree needs a teamate to play a good game. When he is alone he doesn't pay enough attetion or care enough. I can see suttree playing a good early to mid game but after that his focus will drift somewhere else and he will make silly mistakes. He oick a very good leader and a very good civ. I can see suttree going for an agresive horizontal game. I definetely don't want to start next to him.
Skill level: 6.4
Inside his start: Suttree makes equations that I think I understand but I'm not quite sure I do. I think that he being IMP I could see him whiping settlers early. The conversion food>hammers will be to tempting for him. I can see a second city around turn 26-28.
Random prediction: Suttree will declare war to at least two neigbours for the 10t enforced peace.
