Barb Civ's: Advancing in tech...

[Overlag]

im not sure if this has been posted before, but i thought Barb's couldnt really research anything, and was fairly dumb... Ive only noticed them getting newer units when the whole world has those units....

However imagine this when i found there city, being the Taoisim (spellin?) holy city, and a few great wonders as well!!!

there northern main city had the pyramids as well!!! and there culture was very stong too, my culture bomb method of taking over the "new world" just didnt work against these cities...infact i might LOOSE them to the Barbs Culture!

Looks like they captured a good town.

Thats awesome. This was discussed elsewhere, but I dont recall people saying they built wonders and founded religions!

As for capturing a good city, thats a terra map. The city is in the new world, and Im pretty confident Estruscan is not a city name for the normal civs.

Not with an adjective as a city name. It has to be a Barb city.

Personally, I've seen barbarian workers working barbarian tiles, so I suppose it might be possible that an unmolested barb city could develop like the other civs.

On the other hand, it could be a bug.

I just had a similiar game but they didn't build wonders or anything... they did however have a big city with a crap load of archers, winerys and irrigation galore... I had to send quite the attack force to take the city which was on a medium size island that couldn't be reached until astronomy.

it is not a bug, has been shared before that they build wonders...play a large islands map with xtra large islands - each of the xtra islands will develop its own barbarian city and it will grow - had one grow big - and captured a french city - size 1 that was built next to uranium - captured city - didnt want to see barbarians with nukes - dont know if they can get them and would like not to know they can.

Barbarians with nukes. Yeah, that would suck.

sure would... but it would be much like cuba.......

(me hides from any cubans )

Quick question. In order to launch a nuke at a target, does that specific target have to be in your current LOS (like in Starcraft)? Or can it be in the fog of war?

That would suck to the max if it was fog of war... especially with barbarians!

Barbarian banter: "urg ug hummmm hrg hm!"

Translation: "Drop 'da bomb!"

You can drop a nuke anywhere that doesn't have something friendly to you in it's radius. You can even drop it on the black mask of unrevealed terrain, just to see what happens
