1764 Science
Well, following the spectacular last turn, we have good news on the science front! We researched Metallurgy, Chivalry, and Leadership, and stole Economics, Medicine, and Bridge Building. There are now no techs that AI civs have and we don't. We are currently researching Conscription (Riflemen) and after that is done we'll be able to research the following:
Magnetism
Railroad
Tactics
Sanitation
Theory Of Gravity
Theology
Fundamentalism
Here are some possible paths for us to take:
Magnetism -> Electricity
This will give us destroyers (4.4.6) with Electricity, but as I said in the last poll, I suggest we hold off on Magnetism as long as possible so that our ironclads can get the greatest benefits possible from the Great lighthouse, which magnetism would obsolete.
Railroad -> Industrialization -> Communism (or Corporation)
Railroad will let our Engineers build railroads (duh) and let us build Darwin's Voyage (2 free techs). Industrialization will give us Factories (+50% production), Transports (carry 8 units) and Women's Suffrage (Police Stations in all cities). Communism will give us Police Stations (decrease unhappiness caused by troops away from home) and the UN (Embassies with other civs, force civs to offer peace) and obsolete the newly captured Marco Polo's. Corporation will upgrade our caravans to Freight and allow Capitalization (shields to wealth).
Tactics -> Amphibious Warfare
Tactics will upgrade our Dragoons (5.2.2) to Cavalry (8.3.2) and give us Alpine Troops (5.5.1, all terrain as roads). Amph. Warfare gives us Port Facilities (veteran naval units, heal quicker) and Marines (8.5.1, amphibious assaults)
Sanitation will give us Sewers (allows cities past size 12), ToG will give us Newton's U (double science), Theology will give us Bach's (decreased unhappy citizens on continent by 2), and Fundamentalism will let us go to Fundamentalist government.
My personal suggestion for a path to follow is Tactics -> Railroad -> Industrialization -> Corporation.

Avoid electricity until our ironclads clean up the americans and egyptians. Leo's Workshop will upgrade them to green destroyers. Sun Tzu's will make them vets with a won battle, but those will be harder to come by as the AI approaches gunpowder...

railroad so we can take our cannons right up to enemy cities with no movement penalty. it might even be worth letting the AI civs have it after we build darwins so that they do our work for us

Railroads are nice, but the enemy isn't exactly going to let us build them up the their front gate. Maybe we could defend an Engineer against the inevitable Catapault attack with a Fortified Rifleman. I'm more interested in the Transports available a step beyond Railroad.

A question about Darwin's voyage... I usually build it automatically, but is it really worth it. I'm beginning to think the trouble of building 8 Caravans isn't worth the 2 tech advances when we are getting them every 4 or 5 turns. It would be nice to be able to just hold them for Hoover's and go on and build some other things in our cities.

Tactic, for cavalry, the best attack unit at this stay.
Railways for connecting cities, improving production and having new techs (with Darwin's). 
Late : communism for UN and, the last but not the least : SPY !

Once we get Tactics, all of our Crusaders will upgrade to Cavalry. That will REALLY help in our Rome/India campaign.
