Shade, the barb attack in your next-to-last post was not surprising if you know that the manual often misleads you. For example, the manual doesn't tell you that barbarians' attack (but not defense) factor is modified according to level of play. At deity, barbs attack at 1.5x strength. That balances out the fortification of your riflemen, so really the attackers had a 5-4 advantage.
Secondly, attacks are not calculated the way the manual says. Functionally, the actual calculation is (attack + (attack - defense)) versus defense. In this case, (5 + (5-4)) v. 4, or 6-4, which is a significant advantage. Manual notwithstanding, those barbs had a high expectation of winning.

The barbarian attack bonus (or penalty, at low play levels) applies only to barbs, and only when they're attacking -- not on defense.
The real formula for battle resolution, my second point above, applies across the board, so the advantage or disadvantage of any attacker or defender is actually greater than you would expect. Power inequalities are emphasized.
I suppose the AI always attacks settlers &engineers first for the same reasons that it attacks dips & spies and caravans & freights first -- they're easy targets, and they're usually much more valuable than military units.

luckilly this isn't done so in real life(these days),whiping out civilians is still considered an atrocity.(I think I will implement this in my game,when I again start working on it,in 5-6months so little time===> killing settlers and engineers atrocity factor 1 if they're in their borders and factor 0.5 when in yours,caravans factor 0.75 not in your country, 0.3 when in your country(smuggling its an occupational hassard) ,spies/dips factor 0.5 when you never did a thing wrong(no stealling techs ,poisoning,bombing,bribing cities,...) down to 0 (when you didn't do anything else,global community then sees your dips/spies as millitary units wich are a tread) )
Japanese got bought up English are next.
(damn french are demo=> anybody any hints to get them back to some lower gov??(or do I just bomb some happiness stuff )
Shade
PS:this will stay a record attempt,but most probably won't become a record.(254% fundi so it will go up a little when back in demo but not enough before 2020)

After the death of the Spanish kingdom, the Imperial wrath was focused on the Japanese (and partially on the English) Republic.
Because their politicians used the annexation of the Spanish Kingdom to place fear, for The Empire, in the harts of their ppl the costs of bribery became quite high. Also, the fake image they created caused the rise of many partisan rebellion groups when a city was taken. But in the end they all had to surrender (they just disappeared, as if the Hand of God had whipped them out of history, when their last city was taken  .Many Imperians saw this as an Omen. They said it was the voice of God, which was telling that the Empire had a 'Holy Quest' to bring all ppl together under One nation. ) After the annexation of the Japanese Republic forces were directed towards the English Republic. Although they always claimed that 'The Empire' could not be trusted, it were almost always their troops who were violating new Imperial soil. An other difference with the Japanese Republic was tat their politicians were better word-weavers. ("Word-weavers": Imperial term: A person who can speak with such conviction that everyone believes him (even if it's not true))
This had a nasty side effect for our troops, every time a city was taken there was an enormous amount of partisans appearing near the city.
Luckily this didn't hold us back too much and by 1914 the remains of the English Republic were in chaos and therefore taken over by the Empire, to create order again in those cities.
After the annexation of Exeter the English Republic ceased to exist. Now it will be the Job of the Empire to clean up the mess the partisans made (the destroyed a lot of things).
After the annexation of Exeter all partisans again seem to have disappeared. Again there are Imperians saying this is an Omen, but unofficial sources say they retreated to the Democratic state of France.
Since this can't be backed by a decent proof, The Empire can't just attack the Democratic State of France.
This is were the English/Japanese vs. Empire war ends.
[Note: always bare in mind that these are translations of ancient Imperial texts, and therefore some words are translated not entirely as it was written originally. e.g. the word God didn't exist in the Imperial Language, they spoke of "The One Who Created Everything And All, He Who Lives and Judges At The End Of All Life, He Who Is And Isn’t, Will Be And Always Has Been"(It's a lot shorter in the Imperial language but since they use a different alphabet it's impossible to write it down here.)]
The current score would place me at NR 41 in the Hall of Fame.

|
no no no no, fundy means BOTH you cannot set a rate higher than 50% AND your research is halved
