"Lucky" goodie huts

[Bostock]

Once I popped Bronze Working at turn 0... and another game I popped 7 huts in 10 turns.

Really?? I thought cities could not pop techs!

you'd have to settle the city before you move the scout

The way this game works is that it sets turn 0 as the first turn. So really, you could pop a technology with a scout/warrior after settling the city.

my luckiest goodie hut series:

playing as Cathy, prince
turn 3 border pop - pop 2 huts for 2 techs
scout finds 3 more huts - 2 for techs, 1 for gold - all by 3240 B.C.!

needless to say, i stopped playing that one.
(i also accidentally saved a different game over it)

Lucky goody huts? Ocasionaly. But I more often get this one:

"The villagers have rewarded you with the secrets of a new technology"
I then hear Mr Nimoy telling me how "a young man, mangled by the bronze spear, in his death; all things appear fair".

"Cool"! I think to myself. Then I notice that I would have discovered it myself on the next turn. Then a bear eats my scout.

I had a game where the first three goody huts I popped with my scout gave me other scouts, so I had four scouts running around popping goody huts like crazy, though I think I only got gold from that point on.

My luckiest ever, though, has to be this one:

I like popping Horseback Riding early, then picking up Archery and killing off a couple of unsuspecting neighbours.

I did that in an Lan game with my dad and my brother. I had a huge continent all to myself and Cyrus, who was boxed in a little corner. Unfortunately, we stopped the game because my dad was learning and was getting bored (it was basically me vs. my brother, who had his own continent). We didn't want him to abandon Civ!

I got that in my current game, though it was pretty pointless since I'm playing as Darius. Who wants to build a Horse Archer when for just 10 more hammers you could have two Immortals? I got a few good trades out of it, though.

I've found 4 settlers in the first 20 turns or so. I still have the saved game somewhere. Then again, with all 4 cities on the map, I didn't have access to any bronze or iron, so I was doomed until the gunpowder era =(
