Cherry tapping is fun, yes, but not recommended for people still struggling to win a given difficulty

What's the quickest way to reach Knights? Can you get to them efficiently via bulbing?
Looking at the GP tech preferences... I guess that you'd need to Oracle CoLs, bulb Machinery with a GS, and then self-tech Feudalism while generating two GMs. The first would be used to bulb Guilds, the second would run a trade mission (to upgrade HAs). It also looks like you'd have to avoid Mathematics, otherwise the GM is going to try to bulb Civil Service. Or am I missing something?
That being said, it's probably more realistic to self-tech Guilds and only generate one GM for upgrades.

Well thanks all for the specific advice.
I decided to research compass and optics and get out and explore. Neither of the Jewish nations are anywhere near getting to knights or trebs. This was a clear decision once I looked at the position from their point of view.

Math is the number one GS bulb priority...no way to avoid it if you bulb with Gs..
I think the fastest route would be Oracle -> MC, pop a GE while researching Monarchy->Feudalism, bulb Machinery, research Guilds. You might be able to burn the first GE on Mids and generate a second one... then you could run Rep until Guilds, and switch to Police State to rush out the Knight army. But Mids are of dubious value if you're going to tech Monarchy early anyway.
