We can try. I mean, we've some BG and some wines. Hopefully we'll have some hills from the mountains. We may be southern.
I think we should try for the Philo gambit. Who knows what our neighbors (should we have them) may research?
Writing->Philo->What we assess we need.

No doubt, map making. A quick advance to the world equator requires quicker movement, and Map Making and light house is the way to go. We are in the far far South East.

Could you please post a poll soon, Consul SaaM? The Office of Commerce needs to start planning soon.

Full contact means nothing if our enemies are walking through our cities. T'would be nice to be able to defend and retaliate with mobile horses or strong swordsmen.

I think we got ample opportunities for iron and horses with this terrain, with less luxes and so on I would go for Iron and horses. But I think we should strike for the Philosophy Gambit and end in Map Making and plan long term for Republic this Term.
Then, following Map Making, we should trade for as many strategic resource techs as possible, or research them cheap. But we badly need the Lighthouse, as we are stuck in the far southern corner of the Map. Transport speed will be essential this game.

I just got done playing a SG as America, on Emperor. The variant required Republic for the intermediate government, and I was very worried about that. The unit cost balanced very nicely with the commerce from Republic, though it was a bit hair-raising at first to leave the core undefended. After a switch to Democracy we finished the game with a domination win, and 20K gold in the bank. The moral of the story is that it is possible to build an army and use it effectively in Republic.

Octavian, i think you have mis-read my post. I have said that on this level we SHOULD get philosophy first no matter what, unless we are just plain rubbish, as we seem to have a very nice start.
By using specialists we can pretty much guarantee philosophy and a nice early scientific lead. But if we need them SAAM is going to have to push the agenda to the other leaders to make it happen.

Alright. I am going to do a Y/N/A poll in a few min for my proposed Writing-Philo-Assess The Situation path.
I wont be in today. So, discuss all you'd like, but I wont see it until for another 10 hours or so.
