Barbarian Spawn Increase

Increases the rate at which Barbarians will spawn. Balances this somewhat by making encampments spawn a little farther from your capital, and also forces barbarian encampments to spawn farther apart. But the number of barbarian units that can be spawned by a single encampment is increased.

This is based to a some degree on ptr1ck's Barbarian Spawn Reduction mod, and is posted at the request of a few people who asked him to do a mod like this one in addition to his Reduction mod. I had already been playing with this set of rules (for the most part), so I volunteered to post this mod, since ptr1ck had no interest to do so himself. I have added a few commands ptr1ck was using that I was not.

I have also included a file that will allow you to gain unlimited combat experience from fighting barbarians. If you look in your My Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/MODS/Barbarian Spawn Increase folder after you download the mod, you can simply change the name of the file called "UnlimitedXP.XML" to "_UnlimitedXP.XML" and that should disable the unrestricted combat experience from fighting barbarians.

The screen captures are from a sandbox custom map I often use when I want to actually play-through a game to confirm an effect I am adding or removing from the game. I didn't think to take the screen captures a couple turns earlier when things were much worse in those three areas. But what you are seeing in the screen captures is pretty common in the game I was playing to make a final test of this mod. I had set my game options for raging barbarians.

I have checked this mod as being compatible with Vanilla, GandK, and BNW. So far as I can tell, there shouldn't be anything in the mod that is not compatible with all three expansion levels of the game.

Anyway, I hope you can survive the barbarian onslaught.

And special thanks to ptr1ck for some of his code.

Mod Compatibility
From comments left by user NunquamReverto the mod has been verified to be compatible to both the Barbarians Evolved and Leugi's Barbarians Enhanced mods. Though having more than one of Barbarian Spawn Increase and Barbarians Evolved enabled at the same time might be a barb-spam-nightmare.
