6:15 Experienced civ 4 player here. You cannot get a population out of a goody hut in civ 4 (simply not on the list of rewards). The difficulty you're playing on is Monarch, therefore you can only get rewards as follows from goody hut : gold, map, warrior, scout, experience, free tech, or barbarian spawns (if unlucky). Also starting off by building a worker is actually the best play you can do. By the time you finish your worker, you would have already researched the technologies to help develop your capital in the early game. It is always good if your worker has something to do each turn. As for the start itself, it's a bit awkward since you have a resource which needs animal husbandry to improve but cannot be researched until you pick up either hunting or agriculture. Also because of the fact that your capital has a lot of forests (which involves going bronze working in order to chop them). Choices of opening techs are correct, except I would've researched bronze working as 2nd tech instead of animal husbandry. You'd need to cottage those river tiles. Chopping a forest takes 3 turns (+1 for moving worker into it), which can definitely give you enough time to research animal husbandry as 3rd tech, move your worker to the cattle tile, then move it to the horse afterwards. Fog busting is also gonna be important in early game, it stops barbs from spawning in affected areas (a unit fog busts an area of 5x5 of where they are, center point of that 5x5 area is where your unit is standing). Barbarians can be reckless in this game. I hope this helps in future playthroughs 😅

Instead you've grown to size 3 by building Warriors to explore and fogbust, then kicked out a Worker. You even whipped a Settler before you built a Granary! Yet you seem to know what you're doing. It'll be great to watch and see the results (consequences?) of your unorthodox approach. Cheers! So you think you're an old man? Baloney. You can hardly be over 40. Wait until you REALLY get old....
