Also we can slowly grind William down with macemen catapult against longbow, but it might take too long.
Like I said, I'd like us to get a nice advantage against William, like Knights vs. Longbows, Maces vs. non-LBs and so on. How we go about that, who knows.
I would rather go after The Great Lighthouse because it has a more powerful effect, it can be build faster (Thus helping us sooner) and because, if we NEED one of them, I feel the Colossus is more risky because Industrious civs love to slingshot Metal Casting and because TGL's techs are more out of the way while MC is very popular. In addition, having TGL would make us more likely to, say, get the Colossus by getting MC faster. Plus, if there is anywhere for an island city, overseas TRs!
If that is the case, what should our research path be?
Pottery -> Sailing -> Masonry
Sailing -> Masonry
Pottery -> Hunting -> Animal Husbandry -> Sailing -> Masonry(Seems too slow)
