Barbarians! (Civ4)

Barbarians! scenario

For the NPC "civilization", see Barbarian (Civ4).

Barbarians! is a scenario for Civilization IV: Warlords.

Description

The objective of this scenario is to destroy Civilization. You will select the number of turns you wish to allow the game to autoplay. After the autoplay finishes, you will be taken to the Barbarian Horde screen. Use the Barbarian Horde Screen (F4) to purchase units and promotions. As you pillage, fight, and conquer civilization you will gain treasure which you can use to buy more units and promotions. You win once you have conquered all of the civilizations.

Victory

The goal of this scenario is to destroy all the civilizations on the map to win.

No Victory submenu exists for this scenario; only "To win you must destroy Civilization." While allegedly other victory conditions apply to one's opponents at the start of the game (theoretically the Space Race victory is open to them at the initial game-rules setting), nothing of the sort is listed.

Oftentimes at the beginning of the game, the screen might show "You have been defeated!" when such is not the case.

Interface Changes

The leader of the Barbarians is Genghis Khan, as found on the Info Screen's Statistics submenu.

Most of the quick-menus are disabled, though the Military Advisor, Financial Advisor, and Info Screens are available.

Technologies

No technology research is possible.
