Later Era Barbarians

[Grrr]

I don't think they should do anything radical like implement modern units in ancient times. Then I want bribery back

in my next game i'm going to set the barbarians up with musketeers. it should make the whole game more interesting.

That may be a way to cheat or exploit on a higher level: play on hordes, with a cavs or marines as barbs. start on an island, with one or two encampments, which you can destroy by planting a city there. the AIs won't be able to handle it at all, will keep them retarded, so that you can swoop in.

No.

I attacked the civ I shared my continent with, with a massive tank swarm (about 100 tanks). To make life easy for me I razed 90% of the cities, which left a lot of available land. 3 turns later when I went to fill in the gaps with my settlers some barbs had set up camp. My tanks did not have much trouble with the single warrior in each camp. I miss the late game barb (muskets and cannons) that attacked in Civ2.

IMO most parts of Civ3 are improved, but Barbarians were a lot better in Civ2

was this in response to my post? I was talking about having cavs as the barbs, not warriors. Of course tanks won't have a problem with constcript warriors. And I was talking about an early game scenario, not a mopping up situation.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton could be the leaders of the barbarians we could nickname them...dumb and dumber.

[Cyclotron]

Or, you could take both those names, since they both seem to apply.

Sorry I was answering the original question, not respoding to your post.

Okay now I read your post and will respond.

I think your right. However with the AI set to expand rapidly, the AI might accidentally set a city down in the right spot too.

You could really take this idea to the extreme. Give Barbs modern armor to start with and place all of the civs on large continents. Place your civ on a small island and you may be able to get a very fast victory. That would be very boring, but your Hall of Fame would look great!

Indeed. Two dirtbags.


BTW, I always turn off barbarians.

Instead of attacking your civ, they'll play the race card (since all your military units are white men), then do a massive government shake-down to get you to be their political pawn. At which point you lose the game.

boom.

Sounds like fun. Sounds like Terrorism. I think I might change all barabarian units to nukes.

could you only have them as tactical? Could be interesting, if a lot of the land is covered in polution in early times.

It would be a nuisance with a barbarian encampment near your capitol though.
