I’ve found this works fairly well, because by the time that first slinger is done, I’ve been able to explore the area around my starting city with my scout and warrior. You’ll start the game with one warrior unit, and to complement that, I’ve been starting the game by building a scout and then a slinger. You’ll want to put off producing your first builder a little longer this time around, and instead use the opening 10 or 15 turns to build up your military might.

Because builders can now construct tile improvements immediately, the opening build order changes a little bit.
