ive gotten them before. i ususally use them to hurry The Pyrimids in ancient times, Sun TZu's Art OF War in the middle ages (which is very useful) and some scientific improvements like Newton's University. But does anyone know exactly how you get one?
 
be the first to research a tech and get lucky. there is a 3% chance if you are the first to research a tech that isn't known by anyone. That chance is 5% if you are a scientific civ.

You can also get one for researching philosophy and getting that free tech, though you can't get them from huts - at least, I have never gotten one.
 
if You are the first to discover a tech worldwide You have 3% chance to get one (5% if You are scientific civ).
he/she will appear in Your capital.

Hail everyone!
Is this for Civ3 Vanilla or some expansion?

Scientific Great Leaders are only in Conquests. In Vanilla/PTW, you only get Military Great Leaders.
 
funny story. After I got conquests, I played a game as china, cause I had heard they were a great conquest civ.

I popped an SGL my first tech. I had no idea what to do with it, got confused... and started a new game ;)
 
AT - I did the same thing with the military leader.

I just sent them back to my capital city for some reason and let them sit there without doing anythinig with them.

so that's why i love scientific civs ;)
 
On that note, among the Scientific civs I play, Babs do seem to get more SGLs. Ottomans get very little. Comparison? In one game, as Babs I got a total of 7 the whole game (space victory, long game) while as Ottomans in another, I got one in early IA (abandoned due to boredom).

But that's just my luck :p
