I included that fix in one of my help text patches, a couple weeks ago.

Hmm....  Well, that's not in the help -- it's in the server code.  What
wording would you suggest?  "ruthlessly slaughtered"?  "slaughtered by a
band of cowardly barbarians"?

Actually, to properly mimic Civ1 at least, actual barbarian units should
be generated.  Wasn't someone working on a patch to do barbarians by
integrating with the AI?

(Besides, I always loved it when my Settlers opened a hut on a hill or
forest, and then fought off all the attacking barbarians. :-)
