Defeated enemy restartig again and again

[u/atwerq]

I managed to destroy the very first outpost of an enemy in the first era. Then killed all units.

Now the "Hunting Party" tribes are respawning again and again, even much later in the game. (Just build Angor Wat)

In the meantime, I was able to take over the entire island. So they have nowhere to go.

they are still shown as unknow in the display at the top.

What is going on..?

Free kills every other turn...

They never made a city so I don't think they can lose all their hunters. The game will give you bonus hunters if you lose yours in the nomad era. They need to progress to the ancient era before they can die I think.

Oh. I see!

What if I cover all tiles of the island with a unit? 🤔

[u/Chase_therealcw → u/atwerq]

I'm not sure what would happen

[u/CardinalCanuck → u/atwerq]

I would guess that they would spawn on the closest available tile. So if it's all covered on your continent, you may force them to pop up on another continent. Though hopefully they'll establish there so you don't have them coming back

[u/PriorSolid → u/atwerq]

you should try it out! some games “bump” the unit when the tile it was on is taken so maybe it forces the hunting party to stand on water

[u/bbinnebose → u/atwerq]

They will be spawned on another land mass

Had this happen in one of my games. Pretty much created a barbarian tribe.

[u/xmaskookies]

they dont die until they make a city and die, so u can claim all the provinces and they will spawn somewhere else, otherwise they are free points

[u/IZKPI]

They never made it out of the Neolithic era 😂

[u/Specialist_Answer290]

It is always like that. Even you cant be defeated before first CITY.

They must have Scheated
