Ridgelake can't post from work, so he asked me to post this:
"For build orders, I would get 1 city on military, probably pikes, and the other on colonists.
It likewise would not hurt to have another explorer, though the navigation building will build them in time. Being first to map each continent will yield a lot of gold in map sales. Map sales were financing 100% research during my turn.
We will need military. There are barbs on the continents, not to mention the other nations. So we can't send out unescorted settlers.
We are going to have a hard time keeping up in tech with only 3 cities. We can still get monopoly techs with only 4 other researchers. But we have to guess right. Maybe try banking next, or the top line. The AI always like the military ones such as are on the bottom.
Our 3 cities can only produce about 26-29 shields per turn. We need to make sure that we MM to our best ability.
Good luck, and have fun!
