Can the human player trade with a barbarian city?I know it may seem useless in a normal civ2 game, but could be interesting for a scenario I'm thinking of... |

my understanding is that you can although unless the city is large i imagine the benefits to be quite small, ie like trading with one of your small cities.... i also think this was only just recently discussed in another thread somewhere in the last few days |

I've delivered trade into a barb city. It was the only place demanding whatever the product was at the time. The only problem was avoiding them killing it before it got there.------------------

Yeah! Absolutely no problem - you even get a half way decent return if the city is big enough - have you tried sending in a heavily protected engineer to irrigate and mine for the Barbs?
You can even establish an Embassy with the little devils, but it only lasts for the one turn!

Yeah, I've done some 'gardening', but usually only when the city is also producing a barb unit I want to recruit. In TOT, there are some heavy hitting barb units wandering around in the late game. I will go as far as to capture a barb city, add buildings, and let them capture it back if I know a barb unit I want is in the vicinity--all to make the city produce that unit faster. BTW, I'm not sure about original Civ II, but in TOT the barb appearances are tied to specific squares; if you watch you can identify these squares, and park units on them if you really don't want to be bothered by barbs at that point. |
