        2a) Build (or capture) the Pyramids.

        4) Irrigate (or do Farmland/Supermarket).

        5) Build a Harbor.

        6) Build new cities; each city decreases your Settlers by 1, which
           in turn decreases the amount of food being drained from your
           other cities for upkeep.  In a pinch, I suppose you could
           just disband the Settlers to save their upkeep... but that's
           normally not a good idea.

        7) Switch to Monarchy -- your Settlers will have the minimum food
           upkeep (1 each) and your resource collection will be
           unrestricted (so you can get all your food from your farms).  All
           other government forms either have 2-food Settlers, or they have
           a penalty for food collection.
