The gist of #4 is about developing what you need rather than just develop without thinking about whether you will actually use it.

Ultimately, it depends on how much faster you will build something. If you are building warriors / spears then settlers / workers with no improvements, it makes sense to road first, since you will not speed up your build rate much by going mine then road. However, if you are building a granary, it makes sense to mine first. In fact, it may be that it makes sense to do "mine move mine road", since that takes twenty moves, which is how long it takes to grow to size 3.

Something must be wrong with that picture! Since you have only 8 little towns by 630 BC, as my advisor has always said "Build more city!". Hint: Have you read Bamspeedy's article about the Babylonian settler yet?
