I will focus on making our military stronger, to expand our borders and to build our Forbidden Palace.
Building a colony on the gems near Leptis Minor, now we have three luxuries hooked up!
Switch Alesund, Karachi, Oslo from library to temple.
switch Bombay from marketplace to temple.
Switch Hareid from Courthouse to Forbidden Palace, set a citizen as tax collector to trigger WLTKD to speed it up a little.
Switch Reykjavik from library to berserk.
Switch Birka to temple.
IBT - The barbarians outside Kazan attack our AC instead. 5 barbarians die, but the sixth kill our AC.
We learn Teology from TGL. Bombay:temple->berserk. The english are building the Knights templar.
(1) 810AD - Upgrade 11 spearmen for 330g.
IBT - Bergen:temple->berserk. Disease strikes Risor.
(2) 820AD - AC kill a barbarian. Upgrade 2 warriors for 180g. Hurry harbor in Molde.
IBT - Molde:harbor->temple, Birka:temple->aqueduct, Sabratha:worker->temple. Disease strikes Risor again.
(3) 830AD - upgrade 2 spearman for 60g, 1 archer to berserk for 150g(!). ACs kill 3 barbarians and disperse a camp. Other barbarians threaten our workers...
IBT - The russians want to sell us Dyes for silks + 16gpt, way to expensive. Odense:temple->aqueduct.
(4) 840AD - Switch Risor from worker to temple. Switch Vadso from temple to barracks, we need one on that continent too.
IBT - Soz:AC, Vadso:barracks->temple.
(5) 850AD - Upgrade 4 spearmen, 3 warriors for 370g. ACs kill 2 barbarians. We have our horses hooked up. Svolvaer founded->warrior.
IBT - Our galley sinks a barbarian galley. Madras:temple->pikeman. Arabs finish Knights Templar.
(6) 860AD - Ac disperse a barbcamp.
IBT - Bodo:worker->settler.
(7) 870AD - upgrade 3 spearmen, 1 curragh, 1 warrior.
IBT - TGL gives us Education and goes obsolete.

Delhi:temple->pikeman.
(8) 880AD - We increase research to 60%, chemistry in 16 turns. Zeroing lux.
(9) 890AD - Upgrade 2 spearmen. Haugesund founded->warrior.
IBT - SoZ:AC, Stockholm:harbor->temple, Cirta:worker->harbor.
(10) 900AD - Not much left to upgrade, which is just as well as we need to focus on our research if we are not to fall behind.
Summary: Most of our forces upgraded, need some more though. Most of our cities are connected (or will be soon). We have 17 turns left on the Forbidden Palace and that's about as fast as it gets, but when its finished we will have a good second core.
There are good possibilities for trades, that will of course depend on who our next wictim will be. According to our military advisor we're stronger than anybody. We still only have one berserk, but 2 more are due in a couple of turns. We could upgrade some archers but at a rate of 150g that's a bit expensive.
There is a russian settler/swordsman pair near Karistad, when that island is completely within our borders, we can use them in a "leave our territory or declare war" to force the Russians to declare war on us, if we want to.
There are barbarians near Haugesund, which is undefended right now, but an AC is coming in next turn.
