It turns out to be a barb infested world. After a few turns I lose one of my shiny new slave workers to an unexpected barb appearance. Tragically nothing can be done because of the crazy upkeep sequence for finished labour.
In the meanwhile my neighbours keep expanding and I'm thinking early war is in evitable. I dont mind the yellow danger as long as it's chinese and not korean, so containment of Wan Kong is necessary.
Strat: build 1 st ring (ring might be a bit enthusiatically put for the 3 normal cities I can build here
), amass some troops, take a city, extort for all techs/money/cities possible
