4000BC Huts

I don't know. I usually let my borders do it, because in my head I think it is like a scout, and that is what I let myself believe.
On a side note, I am trying to move up to Monarch level. My first game I popped my first hut, got Bronze Working. Next Hut was iron working. I was in the classical era before my borders even expanded.

it is even better than a scout. E.g. at Noble difficulty a warrior has equal chances of popping the following:
Now a Scout cannot get Barbarians so these are simply omitted (the game rerolls a random number and only gives up after the 10th try):
A city can not heal or gain experience so these are omitted as well:
This means that the chances of getting something useful increase in the order of warrior<Scout<City...

Isn't Healing excluded if your unit is not damaged?
Didn't think of it, but you are right... The point is the same just read "damaged warrior and scout" above
Still a city cannot gain experience either...

Healing!!. I never saw a goody hut healing me. Maybe because mostly I don;t send injured units on goody hunts or was it a feature they wanted to introduce and didn't??
Yep - and the warrior becomes as good as a scout (just with one movement)...
It works - I've had that sometimes with scouts, but I would not risk moving an injured warrior on one - popping barbs is much more common...

Just a couple of further points
1) if you pop a hut by settling your first city (in other words, if the hut is in the inner ring of the city), you cannot get a tech. This restriction exists only for your first city (the hut pops before the city changes the canResearch value from false to true).
2) There is a grace distance around your first city where barbs are excluded - in other words, where warriors are just as effective as scouts (but perhaps not as effective as waiting for the city to pop the hut with culture).

Thanks ORI. Never thought about it much but makes alot of common sense.
I *think* they share the same list - but I'll try to find some time to check today...
they most definitely do
That happens to me in about every other game lolGliese 581

Interesting, I've thought about this, it's good to get the facts. I prefer popping huts with uninjured units but I will pop a hut with an injured unit if I see one, after all the risk of an enemy scout getting it if I wait is just to great. It seems the AI almost spawns scout, at least on emperor level, it's not uncommon to see 3 scouts from an AI while you still have your initial warrior and haven't yet completed your first worker!
