Barbarian Tribe Names Question

[GIDustin]

I would have searched for this because I know it was listed in some post, but the search is disabled currently.

I remember that the number of barbarian tribe names you need is linked to the number of civs in the game, and there is some connection between them. So, What is the connection and how many do you need per civ? I am working on the MTG Mod and in play-testing I am running into barbarian tribes that just dont make any sense at all.

Thanks in advance

I think there just have to be 76 barbarians tribes. I dont think the number of civs have anytrhing to do with it.

At least in PTW it's 76. That's 15 for each culture group plus one generic 'Barbarian' tribe.

its 76 in vanilla civ too.

OK a question, perhaps utterly silly: is it possible to link the barbarians to certain civs? How do you do that? So that Apaches, Sioux etc start around the same place as americans...

 

[mrtn]

They already are linked to their culture group. So yes, the apache will plague the americans.

Actually, I don't think so -- in the PTW Civilizations tab, there is only one entry for "A Barbarian Kingdom" (i.e., there is only one Civ listing for all barbarians); when chosen, "Tribe" replaces "City Name", and "Cultural Group" and "Great Leaders" are both greyed out.

Sorry,

Yes, and the first 15 of those barbarians are linked to the american culture group. Hard coded.
