The Clan of Embers has too many disadvantages

[Ecofarm]

I was next to clan and tons of barbs and skeletons were pouring into my land. I mean tons. Well, I thought this was happening:

the barbarians actually walk peacefully through their lands and raid mine, unlike with all the other civs.

But THIS must have been what was happening!:

Once you get I believe necromancy, you can build barrows with your adepts. They will spawn loads of skeletons and get bumped out of your borders to the closest neutral or enemy territory. It gives a constant stream of undead from any unused square in your empire,

Next time I'm next to clan, it's open borders or war!

Keep in mind that the original poster was still on .23. In .31, the clan can't make barrows any more. But, they won't raze barrows in their territory and they will still make skeletons. With open borders, you can go in and kill the barrows without war.
