We have 18 turns left in our Golden Age. We have four major cities and four minor cities. Here is how I propose we utilize their production capabilities during our Golden Age:
Major cities:
Dancing Banana: military immortals (6)
Dynopolis: military chariots (6)
Carpetbomb: domestic settlers (4)
Semtex: domestic wonder prebuild (should have 240 shields at end of GA)
Minor cities
Unabomb: domestic warriors (for mp duty) and workers (4 each)
Horsebomb: military spearmen (3)
Fort Incendiary: military spearmen or chariots (2)
Grenadopolis: mixed spearman, curragh, worker (1 each)
The screenshot below shows the four proposed city sites (numbered in order of settlement) as well as proposed roadways. Proposed worker priorities are the major military roads and mining around Semtex to increase shield production for our wonder.
We need to acquire some key techs in case we get shut out of the Statue of Zeus or Pyramids (the only two wonders we can currently build). The Great Library is tempting since we are a backward people. Literature will also allow us to build libraries which would give us some culture in our cities. Mysticism and construction would also give us other wonder options. Once we have currency we should try selling it to the Greeks for another three techs (mysticism, writing and horseback riding) while we start on construction. Or we could take our time selling currency and research writing ourselves in four turns. Once we have writing we have more trade options for selling currency.
Here's a visual of the plan:
