This is true for the early game. By the time you get thru Classical though, on Game speeds better than Prince, the AI's advantage in Research starts to make them tougher. As they get the newest and better units before the player does. And by this time the Barbs are getting their comeuppance, because both player and AI are taking them out. At least this was the way it was before v41 release. We shall see if this trend continues...AI needs to fight better
barbarians are still the best army and control many powerful cities
