Would you be interested in my humble feedback?

Firstly, thanks for this mod. I like it! Too long have I had Barbarian Kings resting in peace.

The idea of the pillage bonus is perfect. Excellent!
I am not feeling so hot with the fear levels as they currently are, however. The Khan is now exactly as fearsome as an Abomination. I would tone his fear down to fear+1, and I would have the Barbs have Lesser Fear, not Fear +0.

Would you mind a tiny suggestion (which of course you could dismiss as idiotic)?
It could include:
- increasing their precision by 1 (they are excellent riders and at home upon their mounts, thus being able to shoot almost as well as foot-bowmen)
- perhaps adding lesser berserker ability to the Khan and/or the heavier horsemen (although they are at home on their horses and are thus excellent bowmen as well, they have evil tempers)
- Making Ceremony Masters stealthy +0 -- I think they deserve this, it could fit, and would give the Barbarians a slight amount of flexibility

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for.

You’re right about the cause fear being too much for thematic reasons, I think -1 for the horsemen and +1 for the khan is more appropriate. To make up for this I was thinking of raising the attack, morale and magic resistance slightly. The increased precision also seems like a good idea, it would be nice if they inflicted more damage before their charge.

I like the idea of a stealthy mage, but I can’t think of a good thematic reason for one.

As for berserk, I'm not sure if that would be a good thing. You don't wand a handfull of beserk horsemen faceing off with a superior force, I also dont want to make them too similar to the independant barbarians.
