Barbarians

[serpentx777]

I don't know if anyone has suggested this already, but I would like to see barbarian units upgraded over time. I know that most of the time by modern ages barbarians are usually non-existent, but I like having islands with tons of barbarian encampments to cause random havoc. It would be more fun fighting more modern barbarian units.

modern barbarians could be guerilla etc.

I think I read already something about that, but I can't remember where ore in which context.

I would like these modern barbarians (or guerillas, or whatever...) to especially pop up near cities with a lot of unhappy citizens or captured cities. I think this would give a plausible explanation for these units to appear.

But they already existed in Civ3/PTW, and in the most updated form too... In normal parlance, they're known as the AI civs... Barbarians, all of them.

J/k aside, perhaps terrorists who appeared near cities not of your nationality (e.g. recently conquered). Adds a whole new dimension to wars of conquest.
