Inca, 15 Literature and 8 diamonds. It's a pleasant alternative to Greece, and an absolute beaut if you're going for Saladin. Here's my tactic for doing it in about 30 (30!) turns.
Generals:
Washington, decent items and no upgrades
Genghis, decent items and with Lvl 6 Braveness
Barbarossa OR Li Shimin, decent items and no upgrades
Nobunaga, decent items and no upgrades
Here's the plan:
Initially, you have 2 key fronts: Aztec and Carthage. The former is unavoidable, the latter can be dodged. I sent Genghis and Washington straight to Tenochtitlan. Meanwhile, Nobunaga and Barbarossa went to Dakar, then around to Carthage.
In East Asia, Genghis knocks out Japan, then fights China (focus on Seoul and Chang'an, and use tavern generals). Washington goes for Britain and then Rome, where he is joined by Barbarossa. Nobunaga can go to Persia, Carthagenean Spain, India (I did this), or Rome. It's up to you. At this point, you should be medieval.
The collapse of Rome and upgrade to Empire Age should come at a similar time. Now, your main enemies will be China (with whom you are in a long-lasting war) and Huns/Persia (whoever wins). Buy lots of units and tavern gens to finish China off, while using your current generals in the near east.
Finally (you might be in Discovery Age for this) go for Angkor and India (if Nobunaga wasn't dispatched there). You don't need to upgrade to Discovery age, but I do it to play with cool toys
