I so didn't want barbarians to be back It's a stupid term. Celts were legitimate civ in Civ4 but they were "barbarians" to Romans, and Aztecs were barbarians to Europeans, and Europeans were barbarians to Aztecs presumably. Adding insult to injury, Civilization series barbarians are usually impossible to negotiate to. While in real history every "barbaric" nation was easily exploited by what is called divide et impera. Be it Germans, Celts, etc. exploited by Romans, or Native Americans fighting each other, or Native Africans selling each other as slaves. Basically lack of understanding of politics defined who are barbarians and who are so called "advanced" civilizations.
In Civ series barbarians are like some villains from comic books, attack non stop, no nothing else. It was OK in Civ1 given the time it was released. It's very much not OK now. It's neither historical nors adds anything to gameplay apart from constant annoyance.
