I give up!

I finally realized that Newton's College is not worth building for a scientific nation. If for nothing else, the material used to build it is better spent on trading goods, which pays improvement keepup for a long time. I got high tax rates after I built it. The wonder is good only for expansionist AIs like SETI, which seems to have a lot of material to spare, as it builds lots of wonders.

So I've devised something else:
Pottery
The Wheel
Warrior Code
Bronze Working
Military Research for 6/12/150 unit
Horseback Riding
Military Research for 18/6/250 unit
(after building two town guards, builds two defensive units, then two settlers, more defensive units and maybe some offensive ones, then two more settlers. 4 settlers are to build two cities. One improves the terrain while the other does so and settles down. Then one gets added into each city. Each of these cities are to have atleast three irrigated plains, so it gets a start much like the capital. The first settler helps a lot since it does not need any support. The first thing to be built is a temple. Then builds granary and a settler to improve its own terrain. These cities are to provide production cover while the capital builds the observatory. Not adding settlers will not make the new cities big enough when they need to be.)
Alphabet
Masonary
Construction
Ceremonial Burial
Mysticism
Astronomy
Writing
Poetry
Currency
Code of Laws
Trade
Literature
The Republic
Engineering
Banking
Invention
Iron Working
Medicine
Gunpowder
Philosophy
Metallurgy
Science
Chemistry
Explosives
(can now build more cities or roads for railroad)
University
Tactics
Military Reserach for 60/20/Alpine unit
Military Research for 0/40/150 unit
Bridge Building
Steam Engine
Railroad
Industrialization
Communism
(switch to communism for quicker improvement building)
Military reserach for fanatics
Enviromentalism
Sanitation
Steel
Refining
Combustion Engine
Automobile
Economics
The Corporation
Mass Production
Plastics
(shinkansen!)
Recycling
(communism generates a lot of pollution)

Communism is indeed best. It is more flexible and it can produce more trade goods to compensate for its lack of trade. But it does tie down a lot of enginners due to high pollution...
