Starting position woes.

I'd be cautious about settling right on the coast... I haven't seen barb galleys take a city, but I imagine they can.

If barb land units can't capture your capital, then I doubt their boats can either. This would also definitely be the sort of game where I'd want a couple galleys of my own to at least explore if not use for protection (and the eureka).

Barbs can capture your capital.

Barbs can capture your capital.

Are you sure? Because I've had my capital completely overrun with barbs and have not lost it. Maybe because it was my only city?

100%... however I have also had my city on 0 strength and they have not taken it, just moved on
It seems like there is a random factor involved.... I have been in trouble a few times and played it out expecting barbs to leave me alone.... death.

I've not had my capital taken, no. But I know Bite has posted a link to it being done.
