What mod did this?

[Vreejack]

Something odd and unbalanced happened and I'm hoping someone can explain where it came from.

I was playing ROM with barbarian world enabled and sent five archers to capture a neighboring barbarian city (POP 5) that was defended by a couple of warriors. Just as I was about to attack it organized into the French nation. A bit annoying but not entirely unexpected. It popped a few new warriors and javelins but after about four turns I had it down to almost captured (two warriors again) when suddenly France enters a Golden Age and reorganizes into a city state. Now how did that happen? Even worse, it gained four axemen, three galleys, two spearmen, one great general and one chieftan, after which it was able to completely destroy my civ which had been the most powerful in the world a few turns before.

So what mod can turn a two-warrior city-state with stone tool technology and no resources into the most powerful axe-wielding civ in the game in one turn?

Edit: It did have copper, so the later axemen are explained, but the four in one turn?
Edit: Also, does this have something to do with advanced start?

that is one of the Barbarian Components

Yep, happens all the time when you play ROM with barbarian civs on. When they turn from a barb city into a minor civ, they get a lot of bonuses... when they turn into a full civ, they become deadly. Makes for a challenging game, but can be disappointing when you lose.

I've tweaked the amount of units new forming civs get to about 1/3 of the amount by default in RevDCM and you're still saying they're too strong...

having Barbarian World on doesnt help either.
