After playing the latest I have to say this is one of the better Barbarian maps out there.
It starts with the stronger neutrals requiring the Barbs strength and those same neutrals slow expansion pace down of other hero types so the Barb gets a big lead. Make sure you take Eagles in the capitol for flight and for help against the Gryphon/Ghost/Green Dragon cities. The icing on the cake comes at L4 when the Barb with a couple of Eagles can take down the L3 ruin guarded by 2 Red Dragons. That yields 3 Grand Archons (hence no UL needed) which permanently removes the threat of all other heroes but the Assassin from the Barb's path to victory.
Rinse and repeat.
