Great choices, but make sure to vote! (And you can vote for one more..)Mining/BW. Only one path to get hammers. Key food tech is situational and commerce isn't priorirty til cities are secured and barbs under control.
The US Liberty class got nothin' on barb galleys )Barbarian ship building company pops out boats like they appear out of thin air.
They should have barb pirates in later eras - would be a fun addition. Could be PrivateersThe US Liberty class got nothin' on barb galleys )
That's right but I think there's a bug in the code that prevents AIs from building Privateers. And except for Archipelago style maps, by the time the Barbarian State gets to Astronomy plus Chemistry, there isn't likely to be a spot for Privateers to spawn anyways.They should have barb pirates in later eras - would be a fun addition.

On the second part, I think you could have them spawn on any non fogbusted ocean tile? That way they would be a constant menace. Might need them to disappear after a while, in fact…That's right but I think there's a bug in the code that prevents AIs from building Privateers.

As for the AIs building Privateers, unless it is different on Diety, which I don't play, they build them. I almost always play on maps that have islands of some sort. AI privateers always show up. They don't use them very well but they do build them. I recall one game long ago when I already had destroyers and one of the AIs kept building privateers and sending them to a particular spot on my coast. I parked a destroyer there and the idiot kept attacking it with the privateers. Not good for the AI but loads of experience points for the destroyer.That's right but I think there's a bug in the code that prevents AIs from building Privateers.
