first thanks much for the response, all help is greatly appreciated. i'm wondering to what degree you would suggest crashing the economy to expand? if the science slider falls as low as 30 / 40% is that still alright?
should the goal be to simply fill out all of the continent as quickly as possible - economy be damned?
lastly, what victory seems reasonable here? i can't imagine i'll ever control enough land. space?
also i'm not clear on how to calculate an academy vs. adding to the city can you provide a link or quick math on how i'd go about doing that kind of calculation?

Spoiler :
The block on Izzy and move on Hammurabi was perfect, except of course Hammurabi's land sucks as you noted. You also have a ton of land to settle - that means even on noble you likely won't be able to keep the slider up. So worry about the expansion first then think about Oxford once you have your slider back up and are generating more beakers to be multiplied in the capital.
If you get the bug mod you'll be able to see on the tech selection screen what the GS will bulb next. You likely still have a lot of turns left so bulbing isn't obviously the best idea - so its up to settling or academy which you can calculate fairly easily. Obviously you have to decide on Oxford first.
