Democracy, Free Artistry, Navigation, Economics(?).
Just the obvious one for the Middle Ages.

The only way we'd research democracy is if we were seriously behind and needed something to sell at a high price. Free Artistry is if we want Shakespeare's... who knows? I've wanted it before!
The AI normally get Navigation first, so that is definitely out.
Economics only if we don't want to build troops and would rather Wealth it out. But that's unlikely that all cities have finished all buildings by then. Smith's is the only other reason we would do this. But that's also unlikely.
For the AA, CB, Mysticism, and Polytheism are not very desired (we should just trade), Monarchy, obviously, Horseback Riding (unless we have horses (no iron) and early war), and maybe either Currency or Construction (for they are most expensive Maybe a Republic trade for them)
In the IA, I normally ignore Nationalism, Communism, Fascism, and Espionage to focus on Steam Power, Industrialization, The Corporation, Medicine, Sanitation, Electricity, Scientific Method, and Replaceable Parts. I normally then just don't research Advanced Flight or Amphibious War.
In the Modern Age, well, anything that won't help to reach the spaceship.

I'm up, but this is not a get.
Ten Turn Plans
The first order of business is to meet the stranger to the north. They may have something worth trading for. Plan to open the game, make contact, maybe begin a trading session (for the pretty picture) but not trade, and then post back here with the updated save.
Second thing to do is get warriors on hills overlooking where we plan to have new cities. This means a warrior on the hill SW of Red Dot and one on the hill due S of Yellow Dot.
Two settlers will be produced three turns from now. Red will be built on turn 6 (turn 3, move to hill, move to hill and build), Yellow on turn 7 (turn 3, move, move, move and build).
Road to Red and Yellow.
Both Paris and Orleans make a warrior to explore and/or keep the locals happy?
Red and Yellow make workers as their first build?
Research Philosophy at 100% when we learn Writing (subject to change).
Need to plan for City 5.
Hmmm
While I see how strong a city Yellow or Red could be, were I playing solo I would build my third city near the silks to get a luxury and keep the masses quiet and productive. Not much has been said about that option and that probably means I am overlooking a factor in city placement and priority.
(It could also mean we are already connected to silks, too!
)

Nice set of plans C/B.
I don't think we need any more warriors at the moment. The new towns won't need garrisons for a while yet.
As for workers, remember that Paris won't need any more worker turns, so the three we have could go to Orleans and the new towns exclusively.
So if we're not training warriors, and not equipping workers, what should the new towns do?
City placement focuses on the strongest locations first. IIRC the map, the silk forest town has nothing going for it but the silks and some trees. The rest of the land surrounding is plains and a fishing bank or two. If we watch the garrisons and keep MP's handy we shouldn't need the silks until we get a sustained population of more than four.

And with these towns which are growing quickly, shouldnt we build a granary, if it has not been built yet? That way maybe Orleans could be a worker factory and Paris a settler factory? All those wheat and BG's gotta be used for something, right?

Yipes!
The save says 2150 BC, but it is actually the start of 2110 BC.
Dark Purple is an Iroquois warrior.
They are up BW, Pottery, Wheel, Warrior Code and CB.
Iroquois are Ag and Com (Alphabet and Pottery).
Has anyone checked the Space Race to see who else wants to share our world? (is it allowed?)

Start of 2110BC? Uh, oops.
Anyway, that always happens. The AI has always gotten that many techs when I played. (But they rarely get writing.) So if we can hold out for a few more turns (6 or so, right?) and make another contact, we'll be doing fine.
Otherwise, why is the save there? I see no report and no point in only playing 1 turn.

Not much dealing to do with that one.
In another matter, I will have to relinquish my playing spot. Drive failure forced a reinstall of Civ3 and it won't. The CD is badly scratched, so if anybody knows how to repair that kind of thing I might be able to get back in the game.
I will continue to follow your progress with great interest though, and interject my usual pointless and inane commentary.

We're dying here! Shall we skip again? Is this thread dying? Aghhhhhhhh!
You are doing just fine. C/B is taking his time and making sure everybodyhas a chance to comment before he commits us to a course.
Excellent advice, if I say so myself. This game presents an interesting diversion from that rule. The only nation we know so far started with Alphabet/Pottery - bad luck for us, as we need Pottery but I hate to give up Writing for it as it risks the Philosophy gambit. And I really like having at least one additional party to any dealings. That said, wait the six turns and push the northern warriors into the fog and maybe we make a new friend. If not, and if we get to Writing before the Native American, I will strongly urge that Writing be traded for Pottery and whatever else he's willing to give up.
Pottery is very cheap relative to Writing, though, so we need to get more than just a pot to boil maize in.
Then consider the alternative, ignore Pottery and the Granaries for now, hang on to Writing and head straight for Philosophy. That means giving up a four turn settler farm at Paris, though, and depending on the whip to populate the hinterlands.

We met the Iroquois and the English.
We learned Writing and are 9 turns away from Philosophy.
We added two new cities, Lyons and Rheims.
Lyons is building a curragh to explore the coasts.
Greater France 1750 BC
To Do, Notes and Plans
Both Orleans and Paris have rioted because they grew to size 3 and we only get two content citizens at Emperor. Orleans rioted some time ago; Paris is uppity right now.
After the turnset I realized that setting Paris and Orleans to wealth was not wise. It gave us some gold, which I thought we needed at the time, but Paris now needs a warrior to keep the peasants happy. Paris needs to be changed from wealth to warrior.
Orleans is growing slower than Paris, but it needs a warrior also to prevent riots. It, too, should be changed to warrior.
Orange Land and Purple Land 1750 BC
Exploring Options
WarriorNosey can either head due north (shows more terrain) or NW (sees more England). Noseys actions depend on what we do with WarriorWilly. He is positioned to do one of two things: head east to sniff out the Iroquois borders or head northwest to explore the backside of England. If Willy heads east, then Nosey should head NW towards England. If Willy explores England, then Nosey heads north.
Worker Moves
Bede mentioned about improving a tile too early, which implies that the ideal time to improve a tile is just before it can be used. These two tiles may be too early:
1) The grassland for Lyons. Thought that would be worked by the first citizen, but the mined Wheat was worked instead.
2) If Rheims continues to build our fourth worker, then mining the BG was done too soon.
Once WorkerC finishes its current roadwork was going to have him help WorkerA road to Rheims. Together they could make a forest road in 2 turns.
