Barbarians aarrgh

I’m hoping in the next civ game, barbarians will be playable. You start off as neutral barbarian village and you are defined as a civilisation after you raid and take a civilisation city and become a barabarian city state you can trade I think will be kool. What do you think and what are your ideas on this?

Hello Maat

I do think a nomadic period, prior to the "ancient era" beginning, would make for a cool addition to future Civ games. I believe Humankind is doing something similar. The nomadic period would allow us to get a little lay of the land and found some traditions or make some early discoveries, setting out civilisation out on its own path.

Kind regards,
Ita Bear

I like the idea of playing as barbarians. I think that nomad start is really great idea, and maybe you would have some military bonuses like healing after every turn, no strength loss when wounded, +25% to exp, etc. but you wouldn't be able to have any government and select any policies, until turn "x", researching "x" technology or "x" civic, where you would also lose the barb bonuses.

Let me know what you think about it.

Can I make alliance with all barbarians against one specific Civ?

I think it’s a great idea, but I think barbarian copy or steal technology through trade. So if your trading with a civ your copying their research as a barbarian village state, you have raid and pillage bonuses and when it comes time to move from chiefdom you can choose to become a civilisation state of your time and choosing think will be kool ^-^

That’s a great idea make a tribal alliance against one civ is kool
