Barbarian continents

[spammurabi]

I would be under the impression that the Barbarians are favoring attacking the human player's cities rather than Saladin's or any other AI's because the AI gets such massive combat advantages against barbarian units- Barbarians don't go after units suicidally, usually.

When I have an Axeman near a barbarian warrior, the warrior usually runs. Same thing would be true for a psychopathically powerful Arab longbow. The Arab city should be pillaged pretty good if it only has one defensive unit, though.
