PLEASE NOTE THE DATE.
Do you want a peaceful builder game or something else. Noble, and in a rehash of a adventurer option I gave a while back, I have given you a few choices. The map is Terra, and you start with 2 settlers, one in the old world, and one in the new world. I wouldn't settle both immediately, the maintenance could be crippling. Challenger is the same difficulty, just a different speed.
Qin Shi Huang is Industrious and Financial ; starting with Agriculture and Mining. Your Industrious trait gives +50% Wonder production and double production speed of Forge. Your Financial trait gives you +1 gold in tiles with at least 2 gold
Qin Shi Huang's unique unit is the Cho-ko-nu, which is a Crossbow with an additional first strike and causes collateral damage.
As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
