How about you play with one of the least popular leaders/civs for HoF, Zara (Ethiopia)? Free border pops and cheap libraries are always useful. Crappy(?) starting techs shouldn't matter too much when playing with huts on Huge/Highlands. The starting scout can pop some warriors for worker stealing.
Are you really going to play with barbs? Won't they slow you down?
If there are enough Huts guarded by Barbs, think about collecting them with 1-2 Spies or maybe even build the GW and use the 2-move-GS to collect them. The barbs will never know what happened to them .
