Deity
Hmm. This doesn't look great, but it's better than my most recent deity game (on an island by myself but with coastal connections to all other AI).
I'm not sure we want to build an academy at this point if we're gunning for liberalism. I'm guessing our goal is to get steel for cannons, so that we can go on the offensive here. So we need steel, chemistry, gunpowder, engineering, and machinery. If we can get 5 GS (dunno if it's possible), we can bulb education(2), chemistry(2), liberalism(1). We can easily trade for machinery but we'll have to tech engineering, gunpowder, and of course the liberalism pre-reqs of paper and philosophy on our own. That sounds... tough.
