How about a Barbarian enhancement mod?

[Blasphemous]

Though barbarians are nice in the game, they seem, um, lame. I think it would be great if we could put together amod that gives the Barbarians much more options, though not neccesarily power. They should have a much larger variety of units, especially some amphibius (spelling???) Barbarians so you have big amphibirades using some weak transport ships.... The barbarians should also be able to attack in many ways, like amphibius attacks (as said above), bombardment, artillary units, big rushes of footmen that have two movement per turn and two attacks (so they can pillage as they go) that easily wipe out cities, though they should have little or no defense so once you get some reinforcements to their advance theyre doomed... This would show how the Barbarians had such a part in knocking Rome down...
And how about (if possible) an expensive unit that has a huge bonus versus barbarians so these would be your weapon of choice for holding back the waves of destructive footmen and horsemen...
Anyway, I would be glad to give ideas for such a mod if anyone is willing to make it, since I'm not experienced in mod or graphics creation...

I don't know about an amphibious barbarian troop. They have galleys, but don't seem to want to put any units in them!

The nearest I got was giving them a bombard ability.

The reason they didn't put units in was that the Barbarian galleys have no transport ability... Anyhow I think a complete overhaul is in order, and with all the graphics from Kal-El's mod it might be pretty easy to get good graphics for a Barbarian mod...
