I was playing this game in college like 16yrs ago. Me and a few buddies played it regularly. While studying with one of them I’m taking a break and watching him play. He’s playing against the AI on one of the harder difficulty levels with Raging Barbarians on. Then he gets a warning about a barbarian camp near one of his major cities. I’m watching and was like, “Dude you should take care of that before it gets bad”. “It’s not a problem. I got the forces to deal with them anytime I want.” He is pretty arrogant. A couple turns later they attack. I’m watching like 30 barbarians from that camp raid his city. It took 5 to break his defense and the other 25 pillaged all of his resources.

I fucking miss this game!
