So i've been rejoining this game as a replacement player.
Essentially, i'm improving the countryside, building temples and an army of bowmen.
There is iron, not too far, and horses rather near; in the south, a gem source have been spotted, but i think that the japanese will be there before me. By the way, i've had my first (diplomatic) clash, with Japan (position SW of mine) because he was fully exploring my territory.
I've heard of some kind of alliances between Japan and Greece (position W of mine), and so i think that sooner or later, they shall attack me, unless someone else distract them. we'll see.
