I usually go for iron if i start with bronze, u can get a huge military edge and aqquire the iron before the AI

Wouldn't Carthage be better, since Seafaring would give them more gold to get to Lit?

if you start with alphabet and have a prebuild, it dosn't matter how fast you research, you'll get the GL in same amount of time, so i'll take the commercial trait and musketeer instead.

Ceremonial Burial --> Bronze Working --> Alphabat

Ceremonial Burial: You need the temple to have a city of size 3 (to build settlers) without going into disorder on Regant levels or higher.

Bronze Working: Defence is very important

Alphabat: Start the pursuit of sicence

A warrior does the same job.

I voted Alphabet.

But it actually depends on what civ I start with. I usually start researching the next level tech available to them.

As for the starting techs, I try to make contacts with as many civs as possible and trade for them.
