Advanced Tribes

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

What's the largest and most advanced tribe you've ever discovered?

Most of mine were size 1 cities with nothing, but there were the rare size 2 cities with a temple and a marketplace.

The largest I discovered was a huge size 4 city with temple, marketplace, barracks, granary, and a courthouse.

Unfortunately, I had to disband the city because it was in the middle of the desert with minus 3 food.

Has any of my fellow CivFanatics discovered larger tribes?

 

[Thunderfall]

The largest advanced tribe I discovered is size 3, I think.

 

[HIEROPHANT]

i think it depends on what year you are in the game on how big the advanced tribe is.

 

[Frederick the Great]

I once got a size 4 city with a granary, temple, and marketplace, and this wasn't out in the desert or anything. It was a really good find.

Size 3, nothing special that I can remember.

The biggest I ever found was a size 4 with a granary, temple, and courthouse. I then promptly lost it to a lousy barb uprising a few turns later.

Well, it must be close to the Armageddon. Lord, you know that I won’t fly by that lesson you taught me, to pull out my Wesson you brought me, and i’m not stressin’ it softly.

I'm surprised that you'd get an advanced tribe in the middle of the desert. The computer will only build citieson what it considers 'fertile' terrain: plains and grassland, so I'd've thought that you'd only get advanced tribes on these terrains as well.

 

[Cimfindriel]

Size 4 as well, but I am not sure what came along with it.

Same story, size 4 with 4 improvements (in GOTM#2, actually )

 

[Kev]

I've also had a size 4 city given to me with 3-4 improvements. One time it was in a position that was just missing fish and a whale, and it was encroacing on a nearby city as well. That was a tough choice, but I think I ended up keeping it where it was.

A size 8 City Sun Tzu?!?!?! That kicks!

[shadowdale]

The biggest I have ever gotten from a goody hut was a size 6 city, but I don't remember how many improvements there were!!
But I have also noticed that you get bigger cities if you wait long enough!!

DOH!

I never get good stuff like all of the above.

I only ever get a size one. I vaguely remember getting a few with 'an' improvement inside.

Size 5, temple, marketplace. Total fluke, I usually get size 1/2.

[FearlessLeader2]

The biggest city I ever got was size 4. It had a temple, marketplace, granary. As an aside, whoever it was(oh, Lenin) that said they got a courthouse. . . no, I don't think so. You NEVER get a courthouse in any city that you capture or acquire. Even a bribed city loses its courthouse. It's the game's way of saying that different civs have different laws, so the old courthouse is worthless to the new civ. You CAN'T acquire a city with a courthouse. Period. Well, I never have anyway. And we all know that I'm just a god incarnate, so it has to be true. . .

 

[sekong]

I used to play large map, therefore there always are some un-openned huts in later of games. The later it is, the better/advanced the tribe is. I generally get size 3-4 of city, with something like temple, Marketplace, library, etc. don't remember saw anything higher than 5. Coz I generally don't play till that late.

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

Really?
I dunno. But it had a bunch of "primary" improvements.

 

[goodbye_mr_bond]

I've often had size 3 or 4 with a few improvements, but never 5 or more. I usually play large map though so what sekong says applies.

I've never had a city on a desert though. Or Forest even.
