Barbarians are supposed to cause problems. Until I see civs consistently losing to barbarians I'm not in favor of nerfing them.

I really would like to see civ city get sacked by barbarian once. Not just city state

I`ve seen that several times.
Even barbarian taking double cities `city state`

The obvious problem and reason is that Barbarians don't build/spawn siege units so it's basically impossible for them to siege a walled city. Unless the city is fresh and without walls (so a swordsman/whatever can take it.) they have no real chance.

Not suggesting a change, just pointing out why it doesn't happen often.

most of the times, barbarian can spawn dromon very early. but AI lack naval combat tactic.

8 civs on a Communitas continents map. And I'm seeing plenty of wars. I'm more concerned by the effect of DPs.

I find that on the same map with the same number of Civs, the AI band together in DPs and/or 'Offensive Alliances' and gang up on the human. But I only play level 4-5...

The barbarians have had those movement promotions for a while, I don't think any recent changes were made.

I wouldn't mind if there was a waiting period without them, archers in desert or hills can be tough to catch

Try "Chill Barbarians" option in game setup. Really helps tone down pesky barbs to manageable level.
