Ok, maybe not #3 but assuming you're a Monarchy fan. Which tech do you take off the path and why? Assuming you don't get one from a hut. (if you do, what's your recovery path)
If you're a Republic fan, same question just a little different.
For me, it's either bronze or horse. Either let's you buy up the second rack. Most of the time it will be bronze so I get some defense ready for 3250 b.c. and the raging hoards. You can use horses for defense and exploring, but on small worlds the terrain is too defensive and those barbs may stay on terrain that a horse will not be assured of taking them out. But the main reason I like bronze is it's on the path to trade. But i don't mind horse from a hut or reasearch to help hut gathering and staking out territory on small maps.
Part 2, you just got monarchy, what next. For me it's either currency, (working toward quick trade), Map, (if i'm pinned in my civs or water), writing or warrior (If i'm wealthy and need to buy the third rack to rush more settlers), or myst (if I'm food dominate over trade/prod dominate and am having too much problems with happiness and need to build temples earlier than I normally would. It's usually currency, but the situation in the game influences this pick more than the first pick.
