Why not just give them axe throwers

Kuningaz is the germanic word for king and not a german word
the word for king in german is koenig

Wasn't the term "barbarian" a Roman insult towards those who "spoke no Greek", as educated Romans did? (I'm sure Gaius Marius didn't see himself as such!)

Keep in mind any proto/Indo-Language has been lost aside from the remains survived by latin and other later languages As Beron (Latin - Bera) so with the king's old english Bera becomes Bear.

Common Germanic (Premodern German) is the reconstructed proto-language of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European And Indo-Germanic languages Predating Rome.
A defining feature of Proto-Germanic is the completion of Grimm's law, a set of sound changes that occurred between its status as a dialect, and its gradual divergence into a separate language. it is probable that the development of this sound shift spanned Several Centuries Nearly a thousand years.
The end of the Common Germanic period is reached with the beginning of the Migration Period in the fourth century, prior to the founding Berlin.
Sweden and norway evolved from the Proto-Indo-Germanic Languages During this transition as well.

The Pre-proto-Germanic people being a powerful and surprisingly advanced dispersion of tribal barbarians themselves, (Who mastered steel which impressed the romans during the invasion of their territories, this steel was finer than the folded born during Japan's feudal era.)
The closest that the proto-germanic has to barbarian king would be Kuningaz Beron
Kuningaz roughly meaning Tribal father and beron as in the bear (Literal translation meaning the brown one.) a befitting translation considering that the bear was among one of the few things they would not charge with a sword unless they had no choice. so, Kuningaz Beron Can mean the bear father, or powerful tribal father.

The Barbarians are evil from the start, but they taught the germans very well with maybe lies.

"German word for Barbarian King"....said who? i live in germany, i´m born in germany and i speak german, but i never heard this word. XD

Options are invisible so uh...
Kommodore ~ Rev Apr 3, 2016 @ 1:37pm 
Guess other Barbarians don't like when someone declares them self king of barbarians. XD
LilPup Jan 4, 2016 @ 2:04pm 
whenever i select them all the game options go invisible, anyone know how to fix this?
pookel Jan 3, 2016 @ 12:03pm 
I like this idea, but why not use the unique units the barbarians already have - hand-axe and galley?
Shylok Vakarian Nov 12, 2015 @ 1:33pm 
Would've been nice to have a unique attribute where the actual barbarians won't attack you.
Lambda Oct 2, 2015 @ 1:32pm 
More suggestions: [MAYBE] use gold to buy units from encampments, (I'm not sure how

barbarians can utilize culture in this case but that's up to you), (Unsure if and how barbarians will

have to pay unit maintenance but that's also up to you), [MAYBE] gain more gold from pillaging

improvement tiles and cities by civs and city-states but you do not earn a fixed income from your

encampments or earn a reduced income from encampments

*These are just features that I would like to see in this mod to make it a more 'barbarian' experience.*
Lambda Oct 2, 2015 @ 1:30pm 
I love this mod but I would like to suggest the following improvements: make the barbarians

unable to actually own any cities (instead captured cities, including capitals, will automatically be

razed), (once a city finishes razing) you earn gold and culture, start off settlers that create

encampments instead of cities, start off with multiple settlers and military units for early

expansion, train military units in the encampments, have captured (rival) encampments join your

side (the whole encampment, not just the unit guarding it), encampments would have Training

Grounds built into them, your encampments should also be able to produce higher tier units once

civilizations begin advancing eras or have some mechanism for barbarians to have more

scientifically advanced units, ability to ransom captured workers for gold

*These are just features that I would like to see in this mod to make it a more 'barbarian' experience.*

um, when i select the barbarian king when setting up a game, the setup screen turns invisible, leaving only the menu background...
Parker GWSTV Jun 25, 2015 @ 3:43pm 
This is a great modification, I love playing as the Barbarian King!
westaimuty  [author] Jun 24, 2015 @ 5:40pm 
Hello.

That idea does sound very interesting.

It might take some time to figure out the coding, but I will look into it.

I always like it when people give their opinions.
sparr15 Jun 24, 2015 @ 5:16pm 
westaimuty if you do what snowskeeper said make that optional pls
Iron Templar Jun 13, 2015 @ 7:15pm 
prehaps you should instead of makeing them a civ make it so they will take over city states when they do that they lose there easy to kill because there barbarins, that not only would make it harder it would make people want to take them down
westaimuty  [author] May 7, 2015 @ 1:54pm 
Thanks for the idea.

I might try to see what I can do.
Snowskeeper May 6, 2015 @ 4:31pm 
Maybe make them a little more unique? The Barbarians in Civ V are "civilization-hating," and rely primarily on their cockroach-like resiliency to continue existing. Maybe they have really cheap settlers and cities which regularly spawn a random unit from any era that the majority of other civs have reached, but their cities--with the exception of the capital--are extremely easy to raze, cannot be conquered, and can't build improvements? That would force you to rely on raiding other civs for a steady income and discourage reliance on trade or culture.

That sounds really difficult to code, but I thought it sounded cool enough to share.
The Prorok Mar 19, 2015 @ 1:27pm 
So I'm a little disappointed.. was really excited til I started playing. I would've thought the civ would've been barbarian colored, and that the gothic warrior would look like a barbarian. Side note, "distance" is spelled wrong for description of Frankish Archer, and the picture for the leader is glitched out in initial loading.
MaX-NOR Mar 11, 2015 @ 1:23pm 
Im missing the barabrian music int the game.... After a while there only bird singing.
Phpminor Nov 26, 2014 @ 3:22pm 
Finally! now i can be a pillaging barbarian and kill barbarians for barbaric mountains of GOOOOOLD
Sn3aky Viking Nov 13, 2014 @ 9:35am 
We are both kinda new at modding. I was way more new them him its why I contacted him for help on this mod. I had a rough outline for the mod and some ideas and I gave what I had for him to fix. If you guys have any ideas on how to fix or update things give your ideas and let us know how to go about doing it.
dot Sep 28, 2014 @ 6:13am 
Do you know if this works for BraveNewWorlds?
KaidonForever | DAU Aug 12, 2014 @ 7:11am 
how do you use it, because i can't find it.
darkrious Aug 3, 2014 @ 12:28pm 
It runs on G&K, just have to go into the 'Advanced Settings" when starting a game and select the civilization there and it will run. If you try to just start a game without using advanced settings then selecting the civilization there it will just turn into a white screen. In a nutshell use advanced settings and then select the Barbarian Civilization and it should work.
Uber Jul 9, 2014 @ 8:05pm 
It does. I somehow passed it multiple times without seeing it. Thanks!
westaimuty  [author] Jul 9, 2014 @ 7:40pm 
It should.
Uber Jul 9, 2014 @ 4:58pm 
Does this still run if i have no DLCs installed?
MuLLi May 8, 2014 @ 4:26pm 
btw kuningas is king in finnish.
Johnny Turnpike Apr 30, 2014 @ 12:01pm 
Kind of sucks, no leader pic or special barbarian stuff. Seriously, check out my below comment with suggestions.
Johnny Turnpike Apr 28, 2014 @ 11:19pm 
Make it so cities become encampments, you can interact with other barbarians (like city-states, basically), and the only victory this civ can achieve is domination.
giddeg Apr 23, 2014 @ 3:44am 
no barbarian king in german is barbarenkönig
westaimuty  [author] Apr 6, 2014 @ 9:42pm 
No. The other barbarians will still attack you.
SandPounder Apr 4, 2014 @ 6:51pm 
Is this barabrian civ allied with but not controlling the other barbarians on the map?
Rikashey Feb 20, 2014 @ 6:09pm 
Would you be able to add an image for the Barbarian leader?
Le Chiffre Feb 20, 2014 @ 11:01am 
English also comes from Latin.
Seósaidh MacEanruig Feb 18, 2014 @ 6:23pm 
It's Proto Germanic for King. Proto Germanic is the language that English, German, all the Scandinavian Languages, and Dutch descend from.
( ͡ ❤ ͜ʖ ͡ ❤) Feb 17, 2014 @ 7:37am 
just to be clear, it is zulu for 'i don't know'. Im not saying tat i don't know what it means
( ͡ ❤ ͜ʖ ͡ ❤) Feb 17, 2014 @ 6:22am 
Kunigaz is definately not german. However it is Zulu for i don't know.
James Goon Feb 14, 2014 @ 8:16pm 
My suggestion for unique units: Galley instead of trireme, Brute instead of warrior. Plus, brutes can build Encampments.
Msnowy Feb 12, 2014 @ 9:24pm 
it wont start if i have this mod enabled
even ater restarting the game
Freiflug Feb 11, 2014 @ 12:19pm 
Hey there! I started up a game with your mod and I really like the ideas and units behind it! Only thing that doesn't seem to be working are the city screens...Sometimes I can't change the citizen management and it changes the food and gold output randomly (sometimes within the same turn) My capitol made 13 food, when I clicked on it again in the same turn it told me the city is starving, even though I didn't change anything...Hope you can fix that/find out where the problem lies?
Keep up the nice work :)
Ayasys Feb 7, 2014 @ 6:57pm
