After all, what's normal for one is abnormal for another.

Lol, I knew you'd barely believe. This is what I promise to myself before the start every time, but I have problems with self-control when I see 1 warrior per city beyond my borders.

Not much I can say looking at the starting screen. Some river tiles, some forests, some food, enough hammers so I doubt it is worth moving cap anywhere. Though of course I will check tile to 8 or to 69 from my starting point.
I definitely want to start with hunting, but cant be decisive factor.
Considering civics I want something EXP, I really like it in this mode. It lost granary but got some more late game bonuses. But the most important thing is workers, they can bring you whatever you want. I think the map will be lushy and big so I will need a lot of workers. And granaries has lost their attractiveness because of nerfed slavery.
I also want to try AGG but I fear that my reputation will exaggerate the psychological effect from it. I will more likely cut someone's neck with Ghandi from the behind than push from straight with Shaka against fully preprared victim.
Other traits I consider are IND, CHM, FIN, SPI, ORG, IMP unlikely CRE or PRO becausw I value them less.
I got 7th and 18th picks. In general I think leaders and traits are better balances in mod than civs, so I'd probably try to grab some civ with my first pick I get chance.
Talking about exact ones, I am totally not sure yet and will spend some time in civilipedia, but what come to my head are Zulu, Sumeria, Aztecs, HRE, Egypt, Mali.

I'm a big fan of RtR EXP as well, and I really miss the extra Workers it lets you spam out when I don't have them - they prop up my generally sloppy micro! 
I was going to lurk globally, but if you want a ded' I can hang around and whisper "Give Peace a Chance" every few turns to give you focus...

Well I've seen map concepts and been in the other threads, so I guess I can't really be an active ded for the beginning anyway. So probably I'll just stick to whispering calming messages every time someone else comes in with a  calling for blood!
