Couldn't find much coin? You might want to invest in some whalers. Ocean map? You're gonna need lots of wood for a navy.

The map, the game so far, and your economy's early success are all factors. What you prioritize from then on really depends. I tend to maintain about a 3:1:1 ratio for a while until I've advance a bit, have an army, or are experiencing shortages. Everyone on food except 1 for wood, and 1 for coin. In the early game (just starting long before reaching the settler cap ) I prioritize food.
