Hi there, I´m just playing my first game of LoR so are obviously still trying to get used to the changes. Some things I do like - others I like a little bit less. What puzzeled me most was the "raging barbarian"-option. In BTS, I´m used to play on a large pangea with raging barbarians...

Your statement regarding experience & promotion is probably 100% correct as that is how the game mechanics works. However, that was not my point really. My point was that I don´t want that a native tribe, who is my friend, suddenly just declares a full blown war against me to drive me out...
