So the manual now states that barbarians capture both workers and settlers, and then try to take them back to their encampment. If settlers are captured they will turn into workers.
With the Liberty social policy that most people will get within their first 3 SPs allows you to build settlers 50% cheaper.
If an encampment is nearby you can just send settlers to the barbarians for their apprenticeship to become useful workers. Saving you 25 hammers each.
Could prove quite useful when sending workers off to improve your civs secondary cities.
