i'm curious as to why you decided to build a barracks without the intent to follow it up with military units. It just seems if you're going to build a settler after your barracks are done, you'd be better of building the settler first so you can found a city while the barracks are being built.
Also, given you were in the midst of all that jungle, did you chop down any forests? I've found that in the early game chopping forests very quickly brings your units to completion - each one being worth 30 hammers I think. In that jungle you could have been cranking out workers and archers in 3 turns apiece.
