Chieftain
Hi all, I'm a C3C player new to Civ V. I purchased Civ V Complete via Steam's sale and am running BNW.
In my first Chieftain learning game, AI Spain noticed my forces converging towards Barcelona and pulled their missionary away from my front line - for some reason Isabella decided to move it towards a barbarian encampment.
I'm used to seeing barbs kill civilian units in Civ III, is this not the case in BNW? As I passed by the encampment I noticed they captured some of Spain's units - near the encampment is a barbarian worker and the barbarian missionary.
Is this supposed to happen? I find the idea of barbarian religion to be counter-intuitive, but anyways... As the unit failed to spread its beliefs of filth and nihilism to a Catholic Barcelona, the only way I could remove the unit was by bombarding it using the annexed city. Also the barbs didn't know how to use the unit, it just stood there and took the blows....
I like this game
EDIT: Oh! Finally found something with some googling. Barbarian-captured civilian units are normal, and they are only liberated when the encampment is cleared. If this is the case, wouldn't my new Chinese missionary still be Catholic? (Spain's religion) In which case, if this happens again would it still have any use for me or should I simply delete it?
