This is literally true; the old Greek word from which 'barbarian' is derived meant 'stranger' or 'foreigner'.

It's probably worth mentioning that the Steam version now has the patch available, and that since some time, Steam now has the option of disabling automatic patching. So if you have the Steam version of BTS and don't want to patch, turn it off under the properties of the game.

Sounds like a nice bunch of fixes. With 'sail-to-europe' squares now at a fixed distance from land and the ability to go west to get there, this should make larger maps much more viable.

Just today I lost a battle at 98,8% odds - the highest I've ever lost at. It was a Knight of mine, full health, four promotions* against a damaged Numidian Cavalry or something. That sucked :( *then again, my production city is turning out units with four promotions by default, every other...
