I like the Celts, even without iron. They always seem to get attacked early so if you don't have Iron you can time your golden age easier.

No Ottoman Empire? The industrious and scientific traits complement each other well, and Siphi are good into the modern era or at least untill you get tanks.

Japan has almost always been my favourite civ, and that hasn't changed in the slightest. Germany earns a second. But the Mayans and the Celts are strong contenders in my books.

Voted Byzantine but could have gone with the Dutch just as easily.
The Byzantine Droman is just so uber powerful. It replaces the Galley in the Ancient age. As a seafaring civ, it moves 4. It has an attack of two as opposed to 1 making it the king of the seas until Astro. It works as a transport, just like the galley (two units). But one of the strongest points of a Droman gets skipped. It can bombard both land and sea units. Just think of them as defensable catapults. If you use them in a stack, you can take any coastal city you want. Declare war, move in next to a city, drop off your troops, bombard the hell out of the city, end turn. At the start of the next, blow up any remaining units to one HP then walk right in with your troops you dropped of last turn. How can it be stopped?
The dutch have a great trait combo. You get the Ag trait for rapid expansion and the Sea trait for early contact. Then, once your empire has grown, you throw in the Swiss Merc (a 4 defense Pike) and your empire is safe from aggressors.
