I have never seen Barbs that have tanks or anything. Do they advance with you on harder difficulties??

No. The most advanced they get are horsemen.

True. Sux actually... Even in Civ1 they advanced... Why did they remove that?

Isn't most land all taken up by halfway through middle ages anyway? I think the programmers thought it would be a waste of time becuase by the time they would need to adavance thier would be no land left to appear.

There are games in which people are having trouble founding new cities, since the max is reached. They could then still spawn in unowned territory

It's been suggested that they should become terrorists in the modern ages.

Maybe in testing the barbs advanced to quickly and they had marines and tanks while the people had calverly?

The reason why modern barbarians appear is because of massive razing wars. No one looks after the FOW and barbs kill random workers.

I've seen that option in the edit. Problem is. it replaces either the horseman, warrior, or galley, so you could be dealing with a barb MA against your spearman. Also, when do barbs start making horsemen and galleys?

I've found a barbarian camp once in the 1800's, they still had warriors though

Truely it is sad to have barb's in such late eras.

Yes, but there's only two options, basic barbarian and advanced barbarian. So there's scope for two types which isn't really enough.
I think they should, it makes sense.

They should have stronger versions of the Guerilla (such as give it invisibility but only barbs can use it) and some other unit (like a terrorist with precision bombing, invisible and can only precision bombard so they only destroy improvements)

Hey that's a great idea, why didn't I think of such a unit? Maybe time for someone to create a new unit

I like the terrorist idea. So it should be like this
Ancient Age - Regular Barbarians, Warriors and Horsemen
Midevil Time - Thieves or Bandits, like Robin Hood type guy
Industrial Era - Maybe Angry Laborers
Modern Era - Terrorists, with bombing capabilities, and beefed up guerillas.
Just my idea, please tell me if u like them or not

I believe when two civs know horseback riding barbarians can get horses and after two know map making they get galleys.
