First time design

[Rickhan]

Greetings,

I have a couple of Questions i need answered before continuing my project.

1. Has anyone played around with the "aggression levels"? What were the results you came up with? I would do this myself, but if someone has already messed with it, the time saved could be used doing other useful stuff.

2. The Barbarians have only 3 basic units. Do they upgrade with time? Are the Barbarians always going to be the same 3 units? Basic warrior, Advanced Horseman, Galley sea unit.

If they stay the same throughout the game, i want to attempt a change with them.

I've been thinking of upgrading them with a pirate theme.
Basing most barbarian camps on islands, Hopefully at least. Privateer for sea unit, Explorer as basic unit, Pikeman as advanced unit.

The computer seems to grow barbarians as the game moves on. Is this completely random, or do i have some control when making map?

Thanks for reading this. Hope to discuss my project as it takes shape.

Agression level means the likeliness a Civ will declare war, enter into war etc.

Barbarian stays the same throughout the game, unlike Civ1 where they actually upgrade thru time (which I think its better) but now the barbarian does not appear within any Civ's culture border so after a while there is really no place for the barbarian to appear so I guess staying the same doesn't really matter

Thank you for the reply.
