I noticed that barbarians now spawn anywhere, except on land owned by a civ, and to be honest, this makes the game very frustrating and rage inducing. Instead of playing a Civ game, it seems I am playing barbarian whack a mole against the rng. Not fun at all. Compounded by the unit limits that penalize you for having too many units, you end up with 100% of your amy patrolling your borders and those thin slivers of hexes between cities, and even then its not enough. I even started ploping a unit in each hex a camp spawned, I end up with units everywhere, and even that is not enough. Forget defending yourself against a declaration of war, or think of even declaring war on someone else. A barb camp will spawn right in the middle of your four cities in that only hex that you dont own, of course in the middle of the road you have, and eat all your caravans in one turn before you can even react. Its like being in a constant civil war with rebels spawning everywhere there is a vacant hex.
Is there a way to revert to the old barbarian spawning system besides disabling barbarians?
