Which early game barbarian unit do you hate the most?

[Skitters]

Bears for me....Spiders and Griffins can be irritating, but I find their use should you capture them outweighs the pain they can cause to early exploration. With Bears there will often be a mini horde all waiting to pounce. Even if your scout defies the odds, theres a likelihood there'll be another who's smelt his/her blood...

Just because people mangle the language doesn't mean there's not a language there somewhere...

It's a word that was much more commonly used before the spelling in English was standardized (something that happened much more recently than most people realize). Griffin is certainly a correct spelling, but there are legitimate alternative spellings like Gryphon.

English has changed quite a bit over the last few hundred years. We lost the split between formal/informal versions of you. We lost a whole lot of irregular verbs ("helped" used to be "halp"). All of those things were decried in their day as the death knell of English, I'm sure.

Stupid, stupid spiders.

I actually like Griffins - I usually pick up Circumnavigation from a Griffin.

Also, Griffins can snipe at mages and other low strength units for the entire game. I've even sent them against cities on occasion.

I like how they can hide in mountains, attack then retreat back to the mountain to heal

I hate spiders due to my unreliable playing schedule. I'll usually feed a spider that lurks just outside my borders until it is unstoppable. Then come back a to play a few days later, having forgotten completely about the spider, only to lose more units. And I rarely prioritize hunting so I have to waste production on more scouts just to combat them effectively.

I usually place a sign when I lose a unit to a spider, so I don't forget there is one in that area.

For me, I'd say I hate multiple-move barbarians the most, because I sometimes miss or forget their presence and end up losing what should have been an easily protected worker.

I hate multi-move barbs that nab workers on the edge of my culture with one move.

especially in fall further... how does it work in fall flat?

Goblin Archers.

Those who play Orbis will agree that the Sea Serpent is the most hated. With a 9 strength and a 3 movement, they terrorize the oceans and sweep in out of the FOW to sink your ships and drown your armies.
