First 10 techs?

[huh?]

The fact that you ask the question of what are the first 10 techs to research, shows that you have a basic lack of an understanding of the game.

And here I thought when the OP mentioned he was "new to the game" shows that is more than likely a lack of understanding of the game; therefore, the reason for asking the question.
