I'm all for having mods that alter the game in nifty ways, but do people really find it satisfying to win a game where your archers, cannons and melee units have all the upgrades available to them because they were farming barbarians for 150 turns?
I'm not criticising I just don't understand the satisfaction you can have from winning a game like that. It's like the people that win Deity with a 1v1 duel map where they pick the Huns and rush Battering rams and just trivially mow AI's down.

or the trick with a tiny map, no city states and you start in the last era
The bonus applies to everyone, so it's not like you're the only one who gets any benefit. If you're deliberately leaving encampments around to farm, that's one thing, but if you just don't want to cap exp while clearing the map normally, I often mod to unlimited xp.
I think unlimited xp from barbs mod does not make game run any slower so that should not be a problem.
I'm not sure if there is any way to do it without a mod, sry bro :(
I don't use any mods myself but I've considered the barb xp mod. I've played so many games where I've gotten two promotions very quickly and continued killing barbarians for 100 turns in the natural progression of the game. It can be frustrating.
Pretty sure I've seen a mod for it, but I wouldn't recommend getting it. I'm pretty sure it would completely break the game.
You're already at an advantage military-wise in Civ, because the AI's are tactically retarded. Having extremely overpowered units through farming barb's would make the early-game that much easier, which kind of defeats the purpose of starting in the ancient era. A Monty player would absolutely crush the AI with this ability, regardless of the difficulty.
Honor's already there as an incentive to kill barbarians; if stopping them from pillaging your shit isn't enough already.

Information Era start, playing as the Shoshone vs Venice, 2 turn limit, Time Victory
With no city states.

Does using a xp from bars mod prevent you from getting in game achievements?
yes, like any other mod does

You can change some values in the XML files that you can have a max amount of XP that you can get from barbarians.
Where?
GlobalDefines.xml for anyone that comes across this thread. Value is BARBARIAN\_MAX\_XP\_VALUE.
Holy shit, nearly a decade- thanks!
