Leader on first battle of game!

[Barker]

I received a leader with the very first battle I had in this game. A goodie hut made my archer elite, and I took the English town of London and produced a leader, Kublai Khan.

I have never gotten a leader this quickly before. I am going to rush the pyramids now. I have attached a save.

I built the pyramids in 2430 B.C. !!

Had that with a game where I was isolated and killed of the only civ on my island. Happy as can be.... then i realized I'd have to do my own research, and do it at full cost since I'd never meet anyone until Astronomy... There were 14 civs left and since it was a pangaea map they'd be in contact quickly.....

LOL Lt. Shot yourself in the foot on that one, eh?

Barker, thats a great story. I love early wars, and especially early GLs.

I did it one time as the Germans, in almost the same manner as you.
Goody huts with barbs can be a gift to militaristic civs, some lucky defense and you got an elite unit.

The odds of early GLs arent good, but if theres a nearby civ that doesnt have bronze working, you might as well go for it.
The reward (Pyramids in 2000 BC) is worth it, and memories are shorter in the ancient age.

Amazingly A game I played a month ago I got a GL in I believe 2000 something B.C and used it up got another a turn or two later. Pyramids and the Great Library was quite nice.
