Hire a clown in Centralia.
Begin to road the Coal of Babylon.
Leave some units for the next better player to move (or not).
On the other hand, having the GA at the start of the IA is not a bad moment. With the 5 luxes we have now (2 imports) we can do 4 turn research (steam in 4). If we can research 5 IA techs in our GA including Scientific Method, we will have 7 IA techs in 20 turns, that will basically fix our tech lead for the rest of the game. I think we should research steam, electricty, RP, Industrialization and Sci Meth in our GA. And start a prebuild for ToE very soon.
