Sounds like a good start CC! I haven't had time to play the new map yet but I suspect that KR will be the hardest to boost so I would try to play without accepting the gifts from Abedju. The 20 points for conquering cities looks like a good way to go so I would also focus on building military. Here's some comments on each rating:

Kingdom rating: There are 2200db in savings. So in the first year build the personal mansion. Give 1600db to the city and use the remaining 600db to give 2 lavish gifts to Pharaoh. This will increase KR by 15. Keep salary at 2db for now, it will be possible to raise it temporarily and give more gifts later in the game.

Prosperity rating: Many things affect this but with 8 game years it ought to be possible to get this to 100. It won't start rising until after the first profittable year. In most games this will be the second year because of all the building necessary in the first year. Unemployment also affects the rate at which PR increases. Try to keep it within 0 and 5%. Two manors should be enough to get to 100 on this map.

Culture rating: This is just a matter of having enough db to build everything!

No CC, there is no way to store gold in storage yards, the gold mines have to deliver directly to the palace and this will necessarily be less than efficient on this map because of the distances. There is a trick you can use to increase efficiency but it involves tedious micromanagement. If you delete one tile on the road between the mine and the palace just before the cart pusher delivers at the palace the cart pusher will not find a return path and will just disappear from the map. Now replace the road tile and the mine is ready to deliver as soon as it reaches 100%.

No, there is no double income blessing available. In fact the 3 gods on this map are not likely to be any help at all. We could really have used Ra and Seth which is probably why they aren't there.

Did you have any trouble with scorpions? They can be fenced in with gardens and I useually do this right away before they roam too far.
