one of your cities, they utterly destroy it. For these reasons,
land barbarians are best engaged as far from your cities as
possible. Land barbarians arise in areas that are not within the
radius of a city. As time passes they appear at even farther
distances from civilization. Thus, expanding your cities over a
continent eventually removes the threat of barbarians appearing
because the entire area has become more or less civilized by the
presence of your cities.

RANSOMING THE BARBARIANS LEADERS: If a barbarian leader is alone
in a square and you attack him and win, he is captured and
immediately ransomed for 100 coins. The money is added to your
treasury. When barbarians units are attacked and destroyed,
leader units stacked with them are destroyed also. Barbarian
leaders who have lost their armies attempt to escape and
disappear if not captured in a few turns.


GOVERNMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~
To assist in the management of your civilization there is a
system of government. There are six types of government possible but the
ones available to you at any moment depends on the technology that your
civilization has ACHIEVED. One type of government, Anarchy, only occurs
under a special circumstance.

When beginning a new game your civilization is automatically
governed by Despotism. The additional types become available when the
specific civilization advance bearing their name is made.
