Barbarian levels

[Asteryus]

Just curious as to what level of barbarian activity does everyone play? If this was asked before, sorry i haven't seen it.

I like roaming. Don't want the world too full of barbs and also want a little cash when capturing barbarian camps.

 

[nickmandler]

You wimp! And I don't mean that in an insulting way, but in a kind of nice and misguided one. I ALWAYS play on Raging Hordes, because the barbarians are a benefit to me and never a hindrance. They do, however, tend to slow down the weaker civs.

 

[Zarn]

Raging. It's fun. I like a challenge from them.

 

[Tacit_Exit]

Definately RAGING!
Makes you happy you built the Great Wall when an uprising sends a few stacks of 30+ Horseman at your cities!

 

[sealman]

I would prefer to play wih raging, but I go random.

tacit_exit: does that icon mean more smilies?

 

[Panda]

Roaming is enough for me, thank you.

 

[Shillen]

I don't find it to take any skill to deal with barbarians. I just find them annoying. So I play with sedentary just so I can get goody huts. Makes the game more fun for me, and I have no trouble adjusting for them in tournament/gotm games.

 

[Unregister]

I like sendetary but roaming is fun, and makes me build an army.

 

[Strikefang]

Random, nothings more fun than finding out when its too late.

 

[Grey Fox]

Random.

 

[Padma]

I usually just leave it on the default, Roaming, but for PAD1, I turned them up to Restless, just to increase the "discomfort factor".

 

[The Last Conformist]

Raging. Always Raging.

I've always felt that Barbarians should be a chief difficulty for early civilizations, and on Raging they sometimes amount to that. They occasionally disrupt my expansion (by forcing settlers to wait for escorts, or in extreme cases snatching overly brave settlers), but still rarely amount to much.

It seems that Barbarians actually became less a threat when PTW came, since they don't attackin in huge overwhelming hordes like the used to. My Spears get time to heal.

 

[Globetrotter]

Random for me!
I like surprises!

 

[dojoboy]

Sedentary. I hate barbs!

 

[bru]

Roaming. I find that if handled right they are a good source of gold early on in the game!!

I'm not as good at Civ 3 as you probabily are nickmadler :worshp:, and I REALLY hate barbarians.....

 

[stachnie]

Always Raging! If there is a massive uprising, everything you need is a good road network and to send some more units into the city. At Regent, 3-4 spearmen usually is enough.

[Akka]

None.
I find them annoying and not adding a lot to the game.

 

[Knowze Gungk]

Random, Nuffin' better.
