I wish someone could Code-Dive and find the relevant code, but I've found that barbarians attack you if you seem weak, and they avoid you if you spam units early game like a madman.
I would literally see dozens of barbarians angling towards my cities if I don't have enough defenses, but when one or two more axeman comes out for me, the barbs all turn away and attack someone else.
What code causes this? What are the exact mechanics for it?
