So,

> help barb
Option: barbarians  -  Barbarian appearance frequency
Description:
  0 = no barbarians
  1 = barbarians only in huts
  2 = normal rate of barbarian appearance
  3 = frequent barbarian uprising
  4 = raging hordes, lots of barbarians
Status: changeable
Value: 2, Minimum: 0, Default: 2, Maximum: 4

> help barb
Option: barbarians  -  Barbarian appearance frequency
Description:
  0 = no barbarians at all
  1 = native barbarians kill visitors in huts
  2 = barbarians spread from within huts
  3 = normal rate of barbarian appearance
  4 = frequent barbarian uprising
  5 = raging hordes, lots of barbarians
Status: changeable
Value: 3, Minimum: 0, Default: 3, Maximum: 5

?

An earlier suggestion had been, to make (new) level 5 so that 'raging
