barbarian help

sorry if it's been posted, it's just a quick question


ok I've put thousands of troops into a barbarian controlled province (modern east europe) with a barb factor of 8. How do I contact and or kill the barbarians? My troops are just standing there, not attacking anything.

you can't do that, they decide if they want to confront you or not

They'll rise up and attack sooner or later. I don't know if having the army there does much, but it does seem to make them more agressive.

Let them siege one of your provinces and it should activate.

Maybe it's my imagination, but I swear the barbarians tend to attack more when you're moving around. Sometimes I just have an army walk through two or three provinces when I'm trying to incite the locals.
