How does this slavery thing work?

[Arrian]

Catt,

Oooooh, can you try something for me? Add a barb worker to a city and see what the new citizen is called. Is it given Mayan nationality?

Is there a complete list of all the units with the Enslave ability?

Are they all UUs or are there some available to all civs?

In the Epic Game:

Man o War -> Man o War
Privateer -> Privateer
Javelin Thrower -> Worker

Sorry, we're only playing for fun, and the Mayans were nothing close to Feudal.

Slaves look like slaves (i.e. have their own animation) now too.

Very strange! (I wonder if this is an intended effect)

Adding the barb worker makes a citizen with a race identified as "A Barbarian Chiefdom." Now the strange thing: my city took a happiness hit and the cause is listed as "Stop the aggression against our mother country."

Makes sense, right? Barbs are people too!

Except they don't have a mother country! (i.e., not even a named tribe -- just a barbarian chiefdom).

I'm not complaining, BTW, I just didn't anticipate a happiness hit. How do you "stop the aggression" against barbs, anyway? Genocide?

I think this is an intended effect to discourage adding these slaves to your cities. Otherwise, this could easily turn into an exploit.

Wow. Thanks for that, Catt. That's pretty useful info.

Fascinating [/Spock]

Think of a bunch of backward nomads being forced to work in mines or shelve books in libraries, all the while your expansion is encroaching their homelands. The only way to make them happy again is to let them go free (and like that's going to happen!), or way until they've been fully assimilated.

Right! Back to the Dutch.

what happens when you join barbo workers to a city? do they effect war weariness? do they impact culture flips in any way?

[alexman]

Joining barb slaves into your city must be exactly the same as joining slaves of any other civ with which you are at war.

Assuming that's the case, there is no effect on war weariness, as this is not nationality-specific. It affects all your citizens equally.

There is no also effect on flips to other civs, and I'm sure your cities can't flip to the barbs, as barbs have no capital and no culture.

Sounds like what happened to the Roman Empire in RL....

barb farming for workers is great fun. especially as the aztecs in the discovery scenario, great for culture boosts. in that scenario, all 3 am civs, az, inca, maya can do this.
