Here is my first DAR, until 2150BC (first 40 turns):
4000BC: move worker 6, onto cow; move settler 9 (after setting research to CB), net 25 old, change research to Pottery, 100%.
3950BC: settle Paris, build queue = warrior->settler (to set up the second pump, because of the wheat 69 of Paris)->granary…Worker irrigates.
3800BC: worker roads
3700BC: warrior finished, start settler. Worker moves 1
3650BC: Pop 2, up lux slider to 20%. worker mines.
2450BC: worker roads, border expands…and I have 3 cows and one wheat. Nice 
3350BC: worker moves 6
3300BC: worker irrigates, settler built, build barracks (as prebuild)
3250BC: Orleans built 22 of Paris, since that is the only tile that will allow access to the cows @ 33 and 211 of Paris. Build warrior in Orleans, work BG.
3100BC: Pottery Complete, research Writing @ 100% minus lux slider cost (80% at his point)
I will not continue the notes, with the exception of important events.
2800BC: Meet Egypt, trade alpha for BW+20g. They have WC and CB as well.
2430BC: Paris completes the Granary
2350BC: My first 4-turn pump (Paris) starts the regular production of settler.
2190BC: My second 4-turn settler pump came online this turn, starting regular production of settlers, after it builds another worker (mixing in further workers as required.)
2150BC: end of first 40 turns.

no, the capital is a non coastal town. But with the move it only has 1 tile of coast, instead of 2, and allows another town to be coastal, and sets up Orleans to be settler pump, then worker pump for a verylong time for come...
DAR 2, until the discovery of Philosophy
1) discover writing, and the eygptians do not have it. Instead, they have WC, Wheel, IW, and Myst.
2) I meet the ottomans, who have same techs as Egypt minus IW.
3) when I have 3 turns to go on philo, I trade writing to Egypt and Ottomans, netting 213 gold (Egypt), wheel, WC and Myst, (Ottomans).
4) Discover Philo, and trade it for Polytheism and 12 gold from the Ottomans, and 50 gold from Egypt (they won't let go of IW very easily...), set research to Monarchy, and...some other bugger got it first. At least my empire is productive.

This looked like a nice starting position for a Demigod game, so I decided to give it a try. I founded Paris by the starting position and immediately started irrigating cattle. The hut by the starting position gave me a warrior, who went exploring to the north (since the starting position was on the southern edge of the map).
I started with a settler-granary pattern in my capital, but I probably didn't do a very good job picking a site for my second city. The good thing about Orleans was that I could get a good growth rate in both my initial cities irrigating only two of the capital tiles and leaving improvement for the other two high-food tiles for later. The bad - very bad - thing about it was that Orleans outgrew its production very quickly in spie of my having it build a worker before it started a granary. I probably would have gotten a better balance building my second city where I ended up putting Lyons, my third city. The other likely better option would have been to build a second worker in Orleans before starting the granary so I could do a better job keeping up in improved tiles.
When I met Egypt, I considered going ahead and trading Alphabet to them but I decided to wait until I met someone else. My conscript warrior blundered around a bit, popping three huts in the process (two barb huts and one with 25 gold) and finally headed the right direction to meet the Ottomans. At that point, I traded Alphabet to the Ottomans for The Wheel and 109 gold and to Egypt for the working of Bronze and a handful of gold. (I was more concerned about accumulating gold for future research than about getting as many techs as possible out of Alphabet.)
As of 2150 BC, I have three cities and am about ready to found a fourth. Once I get going, my plan is for Paris and Lyons to be settler pumps sharing the three cattle tiles and Orleans to be a three-turn worker pump using the wheat. (For two 4-turn pumps with three cattle, I'll end up with a huge micromanagement headache moving laborers back and forth every turn or two, but I'm willing to do such things for a little extra efficiency.) My fourth city will build at least a couple warriors for anti-barbarian and military police duty before starting on its granary. (I tend to like having granaries in all my early cities.)

Krill, you have two 4-turn Settler pumps, but no Worker-pumps? Where are the Workers coming from, newly-founded cities?

Yeah, some come from the new cities, others from the settler pumps. The reason for not building as many workers is that I want as much land settled asap. I don't have that much land available, and I really need the cities to support the future army that I am about to build.
And, yes, I do know that i should have irrigated the 3rd cow and wheat. I am just a little to tired at the moent to do that extra MM. When I have settled all the land that I can, then the pumps will start churning out hte workers. Later on Orleans will become a one turn worker pump, and Lyons a 2 turn pump. With this in mind the FP will likely go in Rheims, with a palace jump later. If some prime land comes up (IE I completely conquer the Egyptions, then I will shut down Rheims and rebuild the FP in a better position even later via a prebuild)
