I always wondered why AI barbarians get stealth destroyers. It is such a massive upgrade over their previous ships. In my current game, none of the AI have access to even modern destroyers and yet barbarians have stealth destroyers. It doesnt really seem to make much sense, plus I'm the only one who even has a chance to fight them off. Shouldnt barbarians be somewhat further behind established empires?

lol

If you want barbarians to be really weak, open GlobalDefines.xml (in Assets/XML), and change "BARBARIAN_FREE_TECH_PERCENT" to zero. It's at 6 for default.
 
I think it is an event that gives the Barbarians the Stealth Destroyers, they don´t have them regularly. But I agree that this event is a PITA as they are so difficult to find on the map (stealth + high mobility). I sometimes even go into world builder and delete those Stealth Destroyers.

I dont need them to be really weak, just reasonable. Like I said, I'm the only empire that can see or kill them. Most of my opponents are just having all their ships killed off and have no chance. Plus the invisible plus mobile nature makes it so they just ravage your nautical improvements faster than you can track them down
 
in my game the AI still has Archers while i am at the late middleages (just got Clockpunk) and the Barbs also have Crossbowmen and the such.... one AI doesn't have problems due to me Locking them in on a 1 tile seabridge that i Own with a fortress and hidden nationality unit (me is very mean i know :P ) and the other two idk they are on two separate islands still Far Far away from my interference

so yeah Barbs can be a PITA for the AI ;)
