Wait, you're right. I did get HG and I don't remember building it. I must have done a magnus chop and forgot about that. My bad, I sincerely apologize since I was wrong. I actually forgot. Still not sure how since I really can't remember building it.
And dude, everything you're saying is true. I'm not arguing about that. To reply to your points.
I don't know how to respond to the land thing. When I found Kristina she had 3 cities settled - so that's why I'm sure it was on deity. Since I don't think she could have had 3 cities by 20-30 turns otherwise. Also she might have lost a city to barbs/Jadwiga's city state during a war. Also worth noting Kristina was mostly stuck with tundra tiles early in one of her cities.
Kristina actually went to early war with me (relic fucked with her agenda) and Jadwiga. I basically turtled and pillaged her tiles and Jadwiga mostly attacked Kristina's 2 western cities. That might be why that city doesn't have much improvements?
I can't comment on the unimproved tiles since it's the AI and like I said this game was weird.
And yes, that's why I pointed out this win since it was extremely weird for such a low domestic tourist. I generally see 100+ by turn 150 or so. I'm not sure if one of the mods made the game buggy for me or what but I don't use any gameplay change mods - only pop notification stuff and the tacks thing that are super useful.
