Hi guys,

Love the mod. The pacing is more fun than BTS base game and I like the added tech tree etc.

Just so I know, and I have tried to look this up but can't find any mention, there are supposed to be a massive amount of barbs compared to the base game?

For instance: by turn 100 if not sooner I'm being constantly (and I mean constantly) approached by barbs from all directions. Rarely stacked but always coordinated in choosing defensive tiles before entering my borders to wreak havoc on my tiles.

They are rarely high in individual strength but their numbers make up for it. It's easy enough to deal with through scouting ahead with the units you make to deal with them and then try and engineer them towards your rivals, but this often ends up (for me anyway) killing off your rivals which is a real shame I think.

But they did catch me out on my first few play throughs, razing my cities and sometimes my capitol too lol. I will reitirate that I rarely went a turn without new bars appearing inside my line of site - not spawning but arriving.
 
Well, great!

Those barbs. Those cheeky barbs.

So I take it it's not quite a 5x5 radius for spawn protection from your own units any more? It doesn't seem to be the case although I could be wrong.

Edited for profanity.
