Asoka, being trapped in the middle and surrounded by "evil" leaders will be declared either by the aggressive ones (likely genghis) or the squeazed one (Qin). The other 2 evils will happily join the feast and finished Asoka quickly.
Peter has the best prospect of the 3 Evils with his corner (and likely joining the fights after the other ones have exhausted their armies and get most of the rewards) and will after tech peacefully (as much as an evil can, he will likely jump on any fights if nicely asked to participate by his friendly evil neighbours and get some rewards for it). Washington and Darius will be the other victims later.

Protected by Darius long enough Fred will be teching happily in a relatively small and efficient corner until he will stupidly decide to build the UN and then in a face to face election with Peter will lose because of the weight of all "Evil" civs in a Good vs Evil election.

This one seems tough and I want to avoid getting 0 points again scared. Let's start with the religions. Asoka is the only one with mysticism so he'll probably get at least buddhism if not both buddhism and hindu, the AIs usually go for med first. Zara has religion flavor so I think he's most likely to get another religion. We might see world divided religiously to west and east with Asoka converting the west to his faith and Zara his eastern neighbours.

Then there is the peaceweight stuff. We have good guys in SE so I don't expect conflict there. Genghis is probably the one who will start the fireworks but against who? On map this large it largely depends on which way he expands and gets the border tensions. Peaceweight differences suggests either Asoka or Darius. Asoka will probably anger someone with religion so I'll pick him as the first to die. Genghis also has a lot of land around him so I think his position is quite strong.

This map has some good land with long rivers. Genghis has especially great land around him. Darius and Freddy also have nice land and Zara too. Zara also seems to be getting quite much. Peter has just brown land, not so strong and Washington has the tundra and mountains. Asoka and Qin have starts near jungle and are quite boxed in, I don't believe in their chances.

So I choose Genghis for the win and Zara as 2nd. With Genghis as the winner domination makes sense.

My thoughts:

Winner - Probably down to Washington or Genghis based on their performances in my own games, though I don't like Washington's land. Frederick might have an outside chance due to his isolated position. There's quite a drop off to Qin, Zara and Peter as the next most likely contenders, none of whom have impressed me with past performances. Of the three, Peter probably has the best odds of ending up in top spot, followed by Zara (who likes sitting in a corner too much), and Qin (who has a pretty cramped start). I don't think there's any chance for Darius or Asoka to claim this spot.

Runner Up - Could well be Genghis if he doesn't win the thing; otherwise all leaders except Darius and Asoka are probably in with a chance. It could be anyone's game!

First to die - I think this comes down to a coin toss between Asoka and Darius. Frederick is insulated by Darius so he should survive beyond last place; Zara and Washington should also survive a while due to their easily defensible land and tendency to do an adequate job of building units; Qin has the protective trait to help him hang on; and Peter/Genghis are likely to be the instigators.

Number of survivors - Either 2, 3 or 4. I'll go for 3 assuming a domination win for Genghis.

Victory date & type - Assuming Genghis wins the thing, I can't imagine it being anything other than a domination victory. Maybe slightly later than the average victory date to give him time to finish off those stragglers.

Here's my guess at the full ranking:

#1 - Genghis
#2 - Peter
#3 - Qin
#4 - Zara
#5 - Frederick
#6 - Washington
#7 - Darius
#8 - Asoka
