It seems that, apart from some select civs, there are two generally strongest openings when it comes to Social Policies (feel free to debate this if you think it's wrong). They are;
Liberty-Citizenship-Meritocracy
and
Tradition-Legalism-Landed Elite
Some might throw in the free settler policy in Liberty in some games and as I mentioned before there are other sequences designed for getting a strong building from legalism, but I think these are the two opening sequences that are most in competition for strongest overall.
My question is, if you assume continents/pangaea, standard size/speed and a random civ what are the factors that will push you down each path? Consider your civ, your surrounding map features and the other civs you encounter.
In what percentage of games do you roughly find yourself pursuing Liberty Vs Tradition?
