What about this:
- Allow barbarians to transform all workers to taxmen no matter how big the
city is.
- Sell 1 building every turn.
- Buy aggressive unit as often as possible
- attack the closest thing in sight

I don't think barbarians should spare explorers.

I got the feeling when i played original CIV that there wasn't many/any
barbarians in goodie huts
the first many turns.
And late in the game i found barbarians at a very high probability rate, and
almost/never any tech?

Maybe the probability of the barbarians/tech varies over time?
I never seen this documented anywhere though..
