Okay okay I am back to my old fave, cradle, but a couple of things have me a little mystified.
Barbs: Have barb levels been set that as soon as I have the upper hand massive stacks will come and take my cities? In the early game I like to build up armies of warriors and slingers and then attack my orange neighbor (always seems to be the oranges that find me first). The current game I have just taken babylon and the next turn a stack of 12 (yes 12) barbs takes my capitol. Luckily I had saved a couple of turns be4, so I went back and turned on cheat mode to see if the barb army really existed. There were no barbs of a threatening level nearby, so what happened? Does the game have some sort of trigger that will set up barbs if it thinks the human is getting too powerful?
Plagues: I think that something is amiss, unless there is knocking down of a human too powerful in the early game programmed in. I managed to retake my capitol of the game spoken about above and also took nearly all of the enemies cities. This seemed to trigger another anomaly, Plagues. I realise that plagues are part of the cradle game, but my 8 cities are having plagues every 10 to 15 turns. Man enough is enough, I realise that this is to hold back the human player, but it a real pisser that my cities get hit so often. I thought that it happened less often than this. So where can I adjust the frequency of these plagues? I remember that previously I could limit the plagues to only my oldest cities, but I can't seem to do that now, as disasters is a slic file and I can't get into that.
Game above. Very hard. UGmap. Barbs top settting.
