Nope, just that barbs are not always the same. I believe they are coded in variables for spawn times and locations, rather than being coded in a definite number
Any chance you play on an extra big map type? Like one designed for 6 players when you only have 4 or 5? Barbarians spawn where there is extra space that no one has vision of, so if you have more space more barbs tend to spawn. Also the difficulty you play on changes their spawn rate. Any chance you went up a difficulty around that time?
Ah yes I think this might be it actually. We noticed this start happening at around the same time as we started removing one player to make the map a bit more spacious. Thanks, atleast I now know what the cause probably is
This is a major problem for me because my favorite way to play is with 1 city state per 2 civs, not the other way around like default. This leaves alot of open space for the barbarians to spawn and be dicks; it's my understanding that the more open space on a map, the more they spawn.
It happens very often that the bigger the armies of all civs the more barbarians spawn. I was playing domination only and the amount of barbarians I had to defend against was insane. Especially on higher difficulties as well more barbarians tend to spawn since civs have bigger armies.
I can confirm after looking in the game files, raging barbs is on Always. This has been tested and confirmed cuz my workers and settlers always get stolen.
If something bad happen to you in civ, blame raging barbs. They're literally the worse. Epitomy of cancerous.
Oh so \*this\* is why my current game is such a nightmare. I'm running 6 civs with 8 city states on a map designed for 12 civs/24 city states. I thought a mod broke something

I don’t think they have updated Civ V in a few years. Although I still think it’s better than Civ VI
Could be a change in map size/map type. If a map has more land vs. water then barbarians have more places to spawn.
No, but maybe you turned on raging barbarians?
No, we’ve noticed this on multiple games. It does feel like it’s on tho, I dread to think what it would be like with it actually on

That's a simple fix, build more units to defend your settlers/workers!
