Well we do have our work cut out for us, our cities stink! Oh well, not much to do but started catching up on your infrastructure, going Temple, Library, Marketplace, Cathedral etc. Maybe right to Marketplace would be better considering our economy.
1220 - Got beat to Leonardo's Workshop and had to switch to Cathedral.
1265 - Got education, then researching a direct shot to Democracy
1290 - Got Music Theory and Astronomy with the Aztechs for Ivory and 310 gold.
Other than that, not much, workers still working, building infrastructure. We are doing ok because we have the most land! This is always important! Good luck!
