My favorite opening is scout-slinger×3 then either a builder or an archer. My tech order is AH->Archery. My first settler gets finished around the time my initial army (4-6 archers 1-2 warriors) is done taking their first city. This guarantees you room to expand, delivers several cities and ensures that you have the muscle to deal with the barbs as they pop up.
