Playing as the Barbarians

Hey, take it easy, if people want to suggest playing as Barbarians, why shouldn't they? I certainly would like the option, just to change things round a bit.
We all paid for the game, dammit! We should be allowed to express opinions on it.

(I'd just like to make it clear that I'm not actually annoyed with you, ACooper, I just think you should allow people to comment on the game if they so wish)

He commented, I commented. Everybody commented, everybody wins. Nobody was mentioned by name until others brought it up.

You say "yea", I say "nea", in the end we all play our own way.

BTW, Scooby, I'm the original S-h-a-g-g-y. Been here a looong time. They made me change my name because sh*g is considered offensive by some. Sit down, we'll have a Scooby snack together.

I don't like the idea!

Interesting idea for a multiplayer game. I don't see why people are against it. Just think how dangerous the barbarians would be when controlled by human intelligence. As the barbs stand now they are pushovers.

I don't see the point either.

Barbarians do have camps where their units are produced. Civs have cities where their units are produced.

The only difference is that another civ capturing a city gets to keep (or raze) the new city, whereas capturing a camp will just get them some money. Also, new camps just appear in uncontrolled areas.

Why not just play where you build heaps of units and just attack attack attack??

No offence intended by referring to you by name, i just thought it was actually less offensive to direct my post than not.

Anyway, you've got it right, we all play our own way.

I'll have to take you up on that Scooby snack sometime!
