I'll be going Currency -> Construction -> Feudalism, on the basis of "I don't think we can get Feudalism with any speed without Currency" (It'd take 10T at 100%...yeah, our science has sucked all game, and I am pretty sure my mismanaging is to blame in at least a decent amount)
I haven't been able to provide some nice updates, so let's do a bigger one. We had a small skirmish with BoldXenuBrick:

He landed with 2 Axes, 2 Chariots and a Spear ready to go when I was 2T from stuffing it with another Spear/Axe combo, so Wolseley fell and was BURNED TO DA GROOOOUND. He replaced it with a Settler from another nearby Galley. I'm just going to try expanding to the north and hope: I'll be going for Fish/Furs, then Fish/Marble, then Fish/Silver/Silver/Copper, probably. I might go for the Silver one sooner because the research is nice, but Marble gives us a fleeting hope at The Sistine Chapel.

Sisub declared war on us with his Chariot, presumably hoping to take a stab at something undefended...unfortunately for him, I've been building Spears both as garrison and in preparation for a possible HA rush from WilliamLP (He went Construction -> Horseback Riding...though he is now doing Aesthetics). His Chariot has killed no units, pillaged no tiles and unless I missed something, every tile he can get to is covered by a spear (Walton has a spear in it). It will do no harm nor foul.

I'll be honest: I am not entirely sure how we are 7th. Azza is still around since he got peace from da bandito, but who the hell are we beating?
Right now, using only what I know, I'd say Retep is in first (Lots of cities, they seem developed, Great Ligthouse powered), Suttree second (Though I haven't met him yet so IDK) and WilliamLP closing the distance at 3rd, so he'll probably try conquering us soon. I'm going Currency -> Construction -> Feudalism in an attempt to avert dying, then all cultural techs and praying.
