Is it possible to get nothing from a goodie hut?
In starting my Prince level game two of the first three huts gave me nothing. The first was popped when I settled my capital. Nothing. The second was on turn 4 on a goodie hut just a short distance away again. Nothing.
I think I had this happen once before, but maybe another Scout beat me to the hut. This time, no. I mean, as tough as early game exploration should be, at least give me a little gold. But, no maps please.

Really, those maps don't show much of anything at all - it would be nice if they at least lit up the surrounding terrain like a sentry tower.
The second item seemed strange to me too.
I sent my Hunter to subdue a Lion who was in his den. When the Hunter arrived, the Lion had magically been transformed into an Orc Spearman???
I have no idea where the Lion went - replaced by the Spearman?
Anyway, I killed the Spearman and the den/lair disappeared.
What happened?
