Do we need to restore courage to barbs?

[Catt]

Yes - strengthen the barbs. Like others, I have observed some very curious behavior. At the end-of-era uprising I had a stack of 24 horsies sit in its mountain hut just two tiles from a city. I had a second group of 24 horsies charge towards my fringes in two stacks of 8 and 16. Within 2 tiles of my cities (defended by chariots), all horsies fortified and then allowed themselves to be whittled down 4 - 6 horises per turn. Something pretty dramatic happened to the barb code for C3C.

That is just silly. I could see it if the cities had a bunch of Jav throwers backing up troops and the game did not want to cough up a buch of slaves attacking, but man.......

From the changes coming through rapid-fire in beta patches, I think they are watching.

From the lowkey release of 1.14 I think they got overwhelmed with watching and may be retreating a bit to deal with the deluge of input.
Hopefully they will see it though.

Well the other stuff is more important, but this does make the game look a bit silly. Somewhere after they first toned them down was about right.

Now fane7 could really have it easy, little fear of losing any warriors.
