After people finishing theyr first techs i think i figured out what near evry civ is doing...
Scooter, nationalis , i bet he is going for constitution and super specialist, he has great person in reserve and most likely will see a GA coming sonn enough, when he will consider has enough popolation, too bad i don have like 12 catas ready to invade him when he goes GA and adopts pacifism and caste system.I think I seen a marketplace in Scooter capitol,why he would build that in small city , whitout comerce if not for running some merchants which you know is bulbing constitution.
REM+Nick, same like scooter the big advantage for them is they got a 'free' GA and they manged an academy in capitol, what makes we wonder is that they whiped theyr capitol hard to size 3 so the academy is useless right now, but REM proved a very good player so I asume they had a very good reason to do so(like getting a setler in key pozition maybe).If they go for Statue of liberty my bet is on them they will get it, but you never know maybe Scooter gets anoter GE and speed it up.
Alhazard,is obvious he is making a run for kremlin , but right now he decided needs to expand, personaly i think he rushed things to hard and he should had expanded a litle more in begging and then make the run,he's figures are prety bad.
Plako finished nationalism and is stockepilling gold at near 22/turn(which is very bad , as I do like 75 right now and scooter 90 i think).The logical thing for him would be education and gettin OU up but his capitol is small and he used the scientist for and academy and i think he has an engineer in pocket , so i think in like 10 turns will se a GA for him as well, after he will gro his cities a litle bit.
Rmog,what this guys doing is a mistery for me, they opened with edu(maybe they want a fast OU), but they used they GE to build the freaking Notre dame(which on this map proves near useless,as there is loads of happines), they grow capitol tall(very good move),but they are behind on cities even on AH

What I am doing: After i exchanged maps was clear that i will not need astro for like 40 turns, becasue how the land was so I decided to bulb it, and after some long debates i the best use for first GS was and academy so I can clear Edu and PP so i can bulb Astro which is very eficient as there are no bonus for that.So i researched edu to near completion, and chanched to PP as I didnt wanted to gave to anyone free beakers.Right now academy is rocking like 35 b/turn ,and i think till now gave me like 500 beakers which in actual researc is 600 and from now one will just grow more and more, of course i will have to run 100 tax and becasue of that i consider getting a bank and marketplace up,i made so math and those 2 will game more then having a CH in every city(doenst gave me espionage, but still) so capitol will not be touched(actualy i will 2 pop whip the bank,becasue in that turn will start gathering money),and grow it to a large size like 16-17 before my first Golden age.
