Did combat/barbarians get harder in expansion packs?

[Ryan T Keller]

So I played over a hundred hours into Civ 5 when I discovered the expansion packs. I've only fought barbarians so far, but it seems they are harder to kill than vanilla? Either they take more damage, give more damage, or the battles are shorter or something. It just really seems like they're harder to kill.

Thoughts?

I can't say that I ever noticed that. However it is years since I have not had expansion packs.

The big change between vanilla and G&K was that units changed from 10 hit points to 100 hit points, so now all the fractions make a difference - two hits of 4.6 used to kill a unit (due to rounding), now they will be (just) still alive
