For what it is worth,here is a log of my game.I had almost no barb activity.Thru landings or huts.Just 1 from a hut and 2 landings.That was unusual for raging hoardes but not unwelcome <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0>
I suffered 1 major research penalty at 500ad but "fixed it" by finally contacting the last civ shortly thereafter.
Alliances were not automatic and not extremely lucractive gold wise.Some key techs here and there or "useless" techs to get me by when the desired tech was not offered.
I didn't build Darwin's which turned out to be a mistake as the ai took Genetic Engineering and Theology.
