barbarian heavy charging me. WTF?

Just started my first play on Immortal as Inca. Two slingers defending two workers were just pushed away by barbs. I lost two workers.

I have never seen this before. Are these barbs Polish? These were regular axe barbs.

Your slingers come with the "Withdraw Before Melee" promotion. They are, hands down, the absolute worst units to use to guard workers or settlers, for this very reason.

thank you for explaining!
