In a recent game, an exploring spy tipped a hut and was surrounded by barb partisans. I bribed two, leaving the spy to be attacked. The two partisans were ignored by the barbs! I moved them freely with the horde for several turns, and no attack. I suspect that if I had hidden the spy with a bribed partisan, it could have escaped. |

Interesting theory. Sometimes - well, not very often, I have to say - the barbs simply don't attack, regardless of their unit. I've tipped huts, found barbs, waited for the demolition job, and the barbs have disappeared in another direction. Maybe they get called home for dinner or something.------------------

seems to happen to units with ignore ZOC flag more than others.Same thing will happen with explorers and dips/spys.I've had those units surrounded by hut barbs.Sometimes they attack sometimes they don't.Other times 1 or 2 will attack while others head off.I've seen it with freights also.Barb partisans definitly seem to prefer pillaging and fortifying to attacking. |

Yes, they don't attack cities either. |

Yes, many times I have been surprised that the barb partisans don't attack a unit opening a hut. Recently, whilst playing on a gigamap, they even left my spy alone!During the same game, I was capturing cities where partisans were appearing. On one occasion my army of occupation was rather small, so a spy bribed a couple of partisans to boost the garrison. One turned out to be vet, the other not!  SG (2) |

Agree with Smash that they tend to pillage and fortify which was one of the points in my concurrent thread. It is frustrating if one doesn't have the gold to bribe or sufficient attack units to clear their locust-like hold. |
