4. VARIABLES TESTED (A/B comparison)

| Change | Outcome | |--------|---------| | Early warning (20 min) | 41% evac success, 31% militia survived | | No warning | 9% evac success, 100% militia deaths | | Stone watchtower (instead of wood) | +2h simulation time, barbarians lost 22 riders | | Hidden granary | Survivors lasted 3 more days in simulation (post-raid) | | Barbarians with siege ladders | Village fell in 52 min (record low) | a village targeted by barbarians a simulation exclusive

5. Discussion

The simulation challenges the romanticized notion of the "heroic last stand." In the Oakhaven model, the static defense proved fatal. The village was optimized for peace (production efficiency, centralization of resources), which became a liability during conflict. centralization of resources)

The data suggests that the Barbarians did not actually "win" a military victory in terms of tactical prowess; rather, they exploited the systemic rigidity of the Village AI. The village was a system waiting to be broken, optimized for distribution rather than resilience. no stone fortifications

8. FINAL SIMULATION NOTE

This simulation is exclusive to this report. The model predicts that any village with fewer than 200 adults, no stone fortifications, and less than 30 minutes warning will suffer total destruction in under 6 hours against a determined barbarian force of 100+ riders.

The only reliable defense is early evasion, not late resistance.
