build the great wall - 4 turns later a city of mine is captured by the barbarions !
 
If they were Slaves or Peasant rebbels, they can venture inside your borders as well as attack/pillage/capture units/improvements/cities.
But if they were barbarians that spawned in fog of war (In World Map they dont spawn) or built in Barbarian cities, or Barbarian started with them, they cant, or atleast should not capture, or even exist inside cultural borders of Civilization that has built Great Wall wonder.

Pay more attention where does that Barbs hail from. I know that "my" slaves and "my" peasants can exist inside my cultural borders with Great Wall built, but dont know if AI slaves/peassants can.

In simple and short way:
If you have Slavary or Serfdom, barbarians that spawn due to slave rebbelion or peasant uprising CAN capture your cities even if you have Great Wall built. So there is no bug.

If you have lost a city to barbs that came from far away land, or simply from fog of war, that means it IS a bug.

But if you dont know if they are slaves/peasants of AI civilizations, or spawned/built barb units, than this matter may need to be looked into.
 
okay its a bug then !
i was in clasical democracy with caste system - i had no more slaves !

and these were 100% barbs not slaves or rebels !

3 turns later i lost another city to spawned barbs and at that point killed the game !
 
I think barbarians that have been spawned by slave rebelion , in any civ, can pass the great wall. The slavery civic imho need to be turned down alot ... even tho i dont use it , the AI all does .. and they loose cities often , also i have to kill "their" rebeling slaves (barbarians) just about every turn.

In short :) the greatwall shouldnt stop rebeling troops if they come from your cities .. but enemy cities imho yes.
 
@ soup

You know that Barbarians can adopt Slavary ? They can hbave their own rebelions. I heared that TR Team works on making slavary rebelions fight even vs regular Barbarians, but so far I think they just join them as Great Wall sneaking bastards.

Also know that Great Wall was often breached by barbarians, mostly thanks to corrupt Great Wall Gate Keepers, that allowed barbs to pass thrugh for a fee.
 
Good to read your post again Mexico ;)
Started to think I will have to make Total Realism 4th ressurection :lol:

Have you by chance read "MOD: More Leaders for TR" thread by Walter HawkWood ? So far its been made for Total Realism, so I dont think he will have much against the use of it by TR Team, or at least some leaders of his.
