Before I get contact with any other civilization, I usually always build
settlers first, and the first combat unit is an annoyance, but once I
border a hostile civ, building a defensive unit is first on the list of
priorities.

Maybe the first build code should take this into consideration, and
suggest settlers instead of defender when you have both enough food and
contact with no hostile civs?
