Lost Soul #456
Everyone considers the barbarian just annoying sometimes... or sometimes ways to get easy cities. I decided to try to see wether they would expand if they had a large civilaztion to begin with... If they would act like a real civ leader if given the chance. It was an interesting game filled with twists and turns and the complete annilation of the Japanese in the game. I hope you enjoy the show.
Chapter 1: The begining
I entered worldbuilder and put down a few level 1 cities on a small island by themselves, and later attached a path of land to the Japanese and Montezuma. I played a few turns and went back to wb. Their cities were getting big for barbarian cities. I wanted to see if they would settle if given the chance, so I gave them two settlers and connected their mini-continent(It was too big to be an island) to my continent. The connection was made at the top of the continent where Japan was. They used one of the settlers to found a city near one of Japan's cities. Japan wasn't ready to take them out so it gave the barbarians a chance to build axemen. The Japanese city was captured in just a few turns. So the barbarians kept jumping from city to city to city... The japanese were dieing out FAST! In some of the citties on the original mini-continent were building axemen to help take the japanese... The others were building research! The japanese had recently captured a barbarian city founded by the other settler. During the invasion it was incedentaly destroyed by barbarians. By now, the citites on their continent were size 7 or so!! Eventually the babrarians got to me. They had 7 or 8 workers up on their continent... Who built pastures for horses. So... Now they have horse archers!
Chapter 2:Assult on The Capital
They rushed through my defenses so quickly destroying my newly founded city in the process. There was only 1 japanese city left by the way... Then the barbarians ignored the city and went straight for my capital. It had low defense so... There goes my city with lots of wonders... I managed to damage the defense a little... The barbarians couldn't maintain the city so once it shrank back down to size 3 from 12... It wanted to join me. I got the longbowmen that killed my attackers.. And everything was OK. I had to make a lot of horse-archers to defend my northern cities until Ghandi did the worst thing ever... Declared war on Tokugwa and his weakened Empire!
Chapter 3:Ghandi did WHAT?
He charged at the last city in the Japanese empire that the barbarians ignored becuase they were focusing on me. He went straight for the city. It was so small he had to raze it after he captured it! It was an interesting battle. Although... It lasted for about 5 minutes. Tokugwa was out of the picture and I decided that we needed reinforcments... Here came the landbridge to the second continent. The barbarians rushed staright torward Monty and Washington and Monty quickly countered. They were focusing completly on axemen now... no research. The two just plain out fought and defended... No citites were lost. Here is where I decided to stop. The project was over. It was too find out wether barbarians will expand and grow and act like normal civs if given the oppurtunity. I can't really tell... I will have more sotires of the barbarian projects ina few minutes or tommorow.. I'll keep it in this thread.
Chapter 4:Future Barbarian Projects
If you have done something like this could you please post it in this thread... I want to see if other people were interested enough in this to try it out becuase this may make some of the players create new mods civs.. Who knows! But... this may help the Civ IV community. Thank you for your time...

and followed the road this way. After many turns like 7 or 8 i came to another barb city. Sometimes the road splitted up in two and the other road lead to a iron recourse and stuff like that.
