Most generous villagers

[Arksa]

What's the best you've found? I went to an island next to my empire and found two villages and they gave me Construction and Aestethics...

 

[Munch]

In my current direct IP game I popped Aesthetics and Drama from villagers on some tiny islands off the mainland - to the annoyance of the host ...

In an offline game I once popped Astronomy, which was pretty nice.

On a related note, have you got the random event which gives you a small amount of beakers towards your current research from a quarry? This happened to me once, some artifacts and stuff found in an ancient stone quarry gave me a few beakers towards flight! Madness!

 

[J-man]

I once found artifacts that gave me a few beaker towards composites, some pretty advanced artifacts!

 

[Navarre]

An(other) explorer, Bronze working, Agriculture, Fishing and Archery in a row. Noble.

 

[Khift]

Ironworking, the turn after I started researching it, while playing as Rome. I was quite pleased to save 20 odd turns.

 

[qwertz]

Astronomy's the best tech you can get from huts. And I got it once.

 

[MqsTout]

I once got, the same turn I researched Bronze Working: Iron Working and then a couple turns later, Metal Casting.

 

[eewallace]

Metal casting. Wonder how those villagers managed not to burn down their huts???

 

[shawy89]

i once got metal casting on like turn 25 coz i researched Bronze workin first, but on 2 other occasions i got currency and music!!

Yea. Got it once. 2 turns after finishing the Colossus

This wasn't a goody hut tho.

 

[TheMeInTeam]

I like settlers and workers, that I got back when I played easy difficulties .

Best tech I've gotten is probably bronze working. I guess I'm not lucky.

 

[Err0l]

Got Astro once, consider me lucky.

Didn't get any other nice techs though.

 

[Bushface]

I was once alone on a smallish continent and cheated horribly by using WB to cover the land with goody huts, more than once. Got every possible tech, thousands of gold, scouts with vast experience - and a very easy game at Emperor level.

 

[Supr49er]

My Scout got the 'Man Named Jed' event, and found oil in 3700BC.

Hut pops: Horseback Riding and Animal Husbandry within 10 turns.

So you "founded" all 7 religions in one city?

And has anyone ever gotten a religion from a village or are they excluded from the possibility of being revealed?

 

[MqsTout]

I always remember to build a scout ASAP. Their "better odds from goody huts" is very useful.

I have never got a religion from a hut. Don't know if it's even possible.

 

[Julian Delphiki]

It's not possible to get religion-founding tech from hut.. but it is possible to get astronomy from hut when playing the Dutch on Archipelago . That wasn't a terribly fair game for AI's.

 

[MqsTout]

Lots of question here. Someone really needs to look into the code to see what IS possible from a goody hut. The goodyhut xml file doesn't say much, so my guess is most of it is set in the SDK.

I like it because it gives my city time to expand a bit before I get going on building a settler or worker.
