Can anyone confirm...

that on SID he got any tech from a hut?

It seems is a 100% chance to never get one. I think is unfair, thus AI has great start to make the level difference, but not getting any tech when you have a rate of 50 turns is just a big pain for early trade.

Sid should improve the AI capabilities , not destroy the luck in the game.

Edited: expansionist trait makes no difference, just no barbarians

I can honestly say that I the king of reloading absolutely gave up trying to get a tech from a goody hut on sid level. I was getting nothing but barbarians the majority of the time and the occassional map which I ended up having to take.

I'll stick to regent level, thank you very much

I agree they should improve the AI not give it an endlessly increasing build, trade, grow, and starting units advanage

This is one thing that bugs me about Civ3 in general. In the future they (the developers) should just concentrate more on making the AI a whole lot smarter instead of hindering the player to great extents like they do now.
