Have been playing with Norway and here is a bit and here is the strategy I find best suited for me early game:
1) Try settle on a hill next to river.
2) Produce Scout, Worker, Shrine, Slinger, Settler.
3) Tech Tree: Mining, Astrology, Pottery, Writing, Masonry, Sailing, Archer, Military Tactics.
4) Settle 2nd city next to coast and produce a worker followed by 2-3 longboats.
5) Religion: Critical to found a religion. God of the Sea, Crusade, Work Ethic/Jesuit Education, Meeting House/Wat.
Wonder List: Great Lighthouse, Colossus, (Terracotta Army - If you can build it once you have a large amount of Berserkers).
Before AD 900 try to have 6 cities.
Social Policy: Wars of religion.
Spread religion to nearby City States. Before going to war send missionaries to spread religion to the future enemy.
Denounce.
Attack and enjoy the power of Berserkers with 40+7+10(+4) (+promotion). You don't need catapults but some archers and a battering ram can be handy. If you have an Apostle that heals your units you will be fit for fight quick to take on next city.
Try to be the suzerain of the closest city states, they are handy allies in wars.
Be the defender of the city states, the other leaders will hate you once you start your warmongering...
