Provided that you get Philosophy first so you can build the National College.
I'm asking because my strategy is always and invariably to head straight for Education. If I really want the Petra I might get Currency first (which is on the path to Education anyways so it doesn't matter). I'll get Construction beforehand too if I need the Collosseums or Composite Bowmen.
But what would you think of the Danes getting Metal Casting before Education? Provided they built the National College beforehand, do you think doing this would put them too far behind in science for optimal use? On the other hand, they would get workshops and berserkers really, really early...
