Barbarian Camps are scattered around the Map along with wildernesses and other players' cities, these camps contain invaders and can be scouted or attacked. When viewing the Map, if you select a barbarian camp, the message displayed is as follows: "Invasions of barbarians have become a threat to this province. Conquer this city and you may receive a trophy!" However, there haven't been any instances of barbarians attacking or pillaging player cities at this time.
Table of Levels
There are ten levels of Barbarian Camp and the higher the level the more heavily fortified the camp. Higher levels of Barbarian Camp require a larger army to defeat, however the loot that you will be able to plunder is also much greater. As you advance in the game, raiding barbarian camps will become a valuable means of procuring food for your growing army. It can be difficult to maintain supply needs through farming alone.

Troop Requirements
Your level in the technologies of fletching, metal alloys, poisoned edge and healing potions as well as your knight's combat skill will affect the performance of your troops in battle. You can raise your level in the different available technologies by going to the Alchemy Lab and getting your alchemists to research the relevant technology.The table belows shows the number of troops used to successfully attack barbarian camps, incurring zero casualities, and their technology levels at the time.
Strategy
April 16th patch: Lucky for us, the barbarian camp change was just a bug, not an update. It has been reverted, so go back to farming barbarian camps with no fears of losing troops!
There are two dominant strategies for attacking Barbarian Camps:
- Attack using archers and supply wagons - you need fewer troops to attack, but you are slowed down by the supply wagons because archers cannot carry all of the loot
- Attack using cavalry - you need more troops to attack, but this is faster because the cavalry can carry all of the loot by themselves
