This is something I've been wondering for a long time, and I hope someone knows the answer.
Emperor and above, the barbs start with hunting and archery. So why can't barb spears spawn until much later (whereas barb archers and warriors can spawn as early as t6 on deity IIRC)? Or at least they don't seem to?
Is it:
1. Barbs somehow need to research bronze working to get metal units?
2. Barbs requiring a resource can only spawn on/near that resource?
3. Both of the above?
4. I'm completely wrong and the answer is something else???
A solution to this conundrum would be greatly appreciated.
