Advanced tribes

[PinkyGen]

I am playing on a large map, with continents of varying sizes and some islands. I've sent explorers out to pop goody huts. It seems as though if the hut is on another continent, I am far more likely to get an advanced tribe, and thus a city. Has anyone else noticed this?

Nope

You could make a scenario with you as the Barbs...

Yeah, the article said the odds are increase to 47% if on another continent (compared to 20% normally).

I think it's just more likely when the hut is further away from one of your cities. I'll take a look at that article when time permits

It also depends upon the proximity of other cities as well. I have seen unpopped huts near an AI's city (e.g. within its city radius or one square outside) and advanced tribes are NEVER found.

Yep I have. I'll take a new city anywhere!

Very true, the article said that.

I played on world map in Europe and moved to America with one ship and few units and made a whole new empire province just from goody huts. It is very true and it's good feature. It makes it easier to colonize a forgotten continent. It could be also used in some scenario - a race - first to come has a big advantage.
