Hyborem AC

[nzk13]

Can any1 give me advice on how to raise the AC without getting clobbered by Four Horsemen, and when it says 50% of barbs power what does that take into account? Military might, population, territory? Sorry if its a dumb question, im a noob. Im running 0.41 patch i. Emporer difficulty.

If your score is 50% higher than the next highest persons, then you will loose peace with barbarians. As for raising the AC, the best ways for the Infernals are with Prophecy of Ragnorok (i think that works at least...) spreading AV everywhere, and the good old fashion burning down everything they stumble across.

You have it all wrong. The Barbarians becoming hostile has nothing to do with their power, or your power for that matter. It has to do with your score in relation to other civilizations. If your score is 50% higher than the civilization in second place, then they will DoW. That means if second place has a score of 2000, the barbs will DoW if your score is over 3000.

Unless you can trigger them very early, the horsemen aren't that powerful. Most heroes can defeat them, or at least severely wound them allowing a normal unit to clean up.
