I'm playing the game as the Mongols, and have recently seen a very strange barbarian behavior. A barb warrior unit was created just above my city. He took one move toward my city, then turned around the next turn. He repeatead this process about three times before I started taking pics. (see below pics) I hope this isn't intentional, though it's hilarious to think of a barbarian horde debating on whether to attack the Mongol capitol.

It's a common misconceptions. Barbarians aren't cold, heartless beings. They are people too, and are entitled to feelings of joy, happiness, anger, and empathy.

LOL!!!!
I wish i had that problem... they attacked me in hordes... in the early game i had to make it a point to search out their cities and take them over one by one so they would stop sending in waves of 5 at a time... i was litterally fighting a 3 front war against them... of the first 10 cities i had... i swear 3-4 of them were barbarian and the only reason i had units to make a first strike against khan when i went to war with him on the side of egypt..

I have had this weird problem too in my games. I haven't been able to see in my games, but is there an AI player above the units, with you below, confusing the barbarians as to where they should go?
