Hi guys.
I had known and was a regular user of this forum, and I recently started playing CIV 3 again. I had no problem winning with Ottomans in Regent Huge Map all random civs(conquest), and little problem winning with French in Monarch Huge Map all random civs(diplomatic). I wanted to try what Emperor is like.
I want either a conquest or a domination victory, so I made the game unwinnable by other means. Map is 60% water continents, barbarians are sedentary.
I'm the leading scientist, I'm currently researching Military Tradition to get Cavalry, and I haven't researched Physics(Magnetism, Theory of Gravity) Navigation, and Democracy(Free Artistry).
Question is, what should I go for when I reach The Industrial Age? I love railroads and my empire is very large so mobility is an issue, I have like 3 cities that reached 12 pop so nearly no hospitals are needed, and I need to reach Communism as soon as possible, I can't stand the militaristic limitations of Republic, also the stinking war weariness.
If you can give me what should I aim for(like Communism -> Railroads -> Scientific Method -> Replaceable Parts -> Motorized Transportation) I would appreciate.
Btw, I usually sell my fresh researched advances to Germany or Hittites, for loads of money(and sometimes for techs like Printing Press).
Last word: I'm in between Japan(militaristic and religious), Germany(militaristic and scientific), China(militaristic and industrious), Aztecs(militaristic and agricultural) and Babylon(religious and scientific), and all civs are in war with Japan, also Aztecs are in war with Germans. Most powerful army is Aztec btw.
I would appreciate any help besides what I asked for too. This is my first time I play above Monarch seriously.
Thanks!
tl;dr: What should I research first when I reach industrial age?
