Hey gang--the subject line speaks for itself. Do barbarians ever kill AI units?
In the attached screenshot, you can see the Ottoman spearman (I am playing Inca). Anyway--for the last 20 turns that spearman has been attacked by THREE barbarian archers, and he seems to self heal every turn. You can only see on in the screenshot, but after the one at the bottom of the screen shoots, there are two more in the fog who appear (one immediately to his left, and one on the hill between the sheep and the gold).
I'd like to clear out those barbs with my slingers (I took a few shots at the barb camp), but I know sure as hell that if I take out the barb camp the Ottoman spearman will take the gold.
How can THREE barbarian archer units not take out this one Ottoman spearman unit? Especially after at least 20 turns of being nailed?
If it was one of my units, I can guarantee it would have been killed.
Oh--only on prince level.
