Very Early Game Civilizations destroyed?

[entwood]

3.1.3 BtS, have played many a game, but never have I seen 3 civilizations destroyed...(by Barbarians?) Is there any way to discover exactly what happened here? These could be Civs that had unguarded home cities and Barbarians just walked in?

Barbarians did it.

In a recent game the Malinese were wiped out just after a Barbarian Uprising random event (which happily bounced off my Great Wall). Perhaps something similar happened in this game?

 

[entwood]

Maybe. I'm debating whether or not to continue on with this game...3 Civs knocked out on my Prince Terra Huge Maps game...seems unfair in one way and a nice opportunity in another way....

If you aren't opposed to the idea, you can just put them back in using the world editor... When you place the city back, it will appear with no name and no population, but once you exit world editor it will return to normal. I'd also remove any hordes of barb swordsmen around the area too
