Even if I'm not going for a neighbor immediately (which I always do if there's a neighbor), I'm having trouble seeing slinger-settler being viable because of barbarians. I almost always seem to have at least one camp within serious threat range by the time I could finish the settler, and maybe 25%-30% of the time I get a wave because a barbarian scout made it back to camp. Chasing scouts is pretty much impossible prior to horseback riding, the only reason waves don't happen more often is scouts often continue to explore instead of heading back to report.
