Abegweit said:One point to mull over: workers popped from goody huts (who, by the way, are native) are not really very useful, especially when they are far from home. It may be a good idea to reverse the normal trick and put settlers into your build queue when popping a hut. This ensures you get something else.
CKS said:I don't think building or having a settler blocks getting a worker from a hut. It hasn't in other games with this switch.
If you don't want to march a worker home, use it to explore until something kills it. Think of it as a slow scout.
oops - you are correct.MeteorPunch said:resources don't show up until you get the the wheel or iron working, so do you mean luxuries?
Well I have not figured that....so at the very least your not the last person too....Iver-P said:I have found a method to peer just a bit further into the fog of the opening screen shots, and btw any screen shot of CIV3. I can't say it reveals anything astounding on COTM12. But it could be possible to reveal a resource that is not clearly visible without the technique. I assume others have figured this out. I'm usually not the first with anything around here.
Questions:
1. Is it documented?
2. Are people doing it?
3. Is it legal in GOTM?
4. Should this discussion even be here in pre-game?

Abegweit said:M-B has discovered that it is possible to replace getting settlers from GHs by getting workers. OK. The question is how this change affects the rule.
...
This means that CKS is wrong and that no workers have ever been gained by GHs while settlers existed. I could be wrong. I would welcome a counter-example.
