A bit too lucky.

Alright, it was a few nights ago. I decided to play as Khmr on Noble, except I renamed everything to Cambodia. My start was great. Coastal, with two seafood, cows, and pigs. My warrior moved northwest to pop a hut. Guess what that was.

Bronzeworking.

Mind = blown. But that's nothing to what's coming next. I moved my warrior a few more spaces, and another hut popped...

Ironworking.

Iron appeared next to my capitol. At this point, I'm freaking amazed. So, I have swordsmen before the date of 3500 BC. I easily roll over my neighbor, the Celts, then I stomp Asoka and his Indians. The game is currently saved, but I truthfully don't want to play it, because it would be too easy.

Sometimes its better to be lucky. XD

It's happened to me once, before, but in my case it was a multiplayer game and I just cackled and cackled and cackled.

It's good to be lucky.

Now that is cool .

I never seem to get that many techs from goody huts, and when I do, it's always something like Mysticism.

But, I do remember finding a goody hut a mere four tiles away from Khmer in the artic wastelands...that had Iron Working. In 2000 BC. You would have thought Sury would have gotten it by then.

Apparently, that Combat I-bear ate all his dudes or something. In all fairness, my intrepid scout also fell victim to this grizzly. But, he obtained a valuable tech worth far more than a free scout from a goody hut could ever be worth, so he achieved cost effectiveness, the greatest compliment any scout under my command has received.

Yeah, in my current tale (check my signature) I got an amazing 8 TECHS rom the huts. Pretty cool huh?

I remember living in the south of a big continent from which father south was another really big land mass without any civilization whatsoever only goody huts, not even barbarians even though I played raging and I managed send there scout with a hope of getting some late tech but what followed was really a bit too lucky. Those simple and friendly villagers has gifted me with Paper, Music, Code of laws, Currency and Drama.
