geez why didn't anyone warn me the barbarians were so brutal in civ 6, wow

@vahnj oh btw the barbarians are brutal in civ 6, just fyi

More usefully:

* If a scout sees your city and gets either off your map or back to an outpost, 2 to 5 barbarians spawn against you

* Barbarians always have military tech equal to the strongest military tech of any major civ in your game, and also horses if they're near horses

* Barbarians are mostly your own pissed-off citizens; prioritize any luxury resource immediately to reduce barbarian pressure dramatically

@vahnj Barbarian outposts only spawn outside of every civ's territory and vision, and the game gives up quickly if its attempt to spawn a new outpost fails, so barbarians drop off dramatically as civilizations expand; this is more pronounced on smaller maps b
