I need some advice on improving my research strategy:
My basic practice is roughly like this:
First I pick up a handful of basic stuff like Bronze Working, Pottery, Hunting etc. This lets me build the basic improvements like walls, cottages, libraries etc.
I then go directly after Optics so I can be the first to circle the globe at get the shipping movement bonus.
My next target is railroads for the obvious land movement benefits.
Then I go after Industrialism (Tanks) and Rocketry (Spaceship).
My problem is it always takes me until around the mid 1600s to get to Railroads. By then it is extremely difficult to get a victory of any sorts before 2000 which appears to be necessary to get a decent score.
I usually mange to build most of the research orientated wonders like Pyramids and the Great Library and build libraries in all my cities But this doesn't speed things up much.
Any advice would be a big help.
Thanks
