Results from huts

[Indiansmoke]

I know that the chances of the hut result depend on difficulty level but I am not sure about the following.

1. If you have not settled yet and pop a hut with a scout, is there a chance you get a free tech or are techs out of the question due to not having a city yet?

2. If you pop a hut by settling your first settler (capital) what are the propable results? Is there a chance you get free tech? Or is it always either gold, map, unit?

3. If barbs are off what is the difference in popping a hut with a scout or with a warrior? Do scouts get better chances in any way or are "better chances" limited to that tehy don't pop barbs?

Many thanks

I jave had a tech while settling my cap. I can't remember if it was bronze working or sailing, but it did enlight my day.

Don't pop any huts before you settle your first city for exactly this reason. As was just stated, you can pop a technology BY settling a city, but you can't get a technology unless you actually have at least one city.

Pretty sure there's no difference in popping with warr/scout with no barbs. Scouts just reroll all results tagged as "bad", and only barb results are tagged as such AFAIK.

Out of the question. CanResearch is false until you have a city.

Still no techs - the culture pop happens before CanResearch is set.

The better chances of scouts is that if they get a bad roll, then they get a reroll, up to a limit (10 by default - it's located somewhere in GlobalDefines.xml). There's a flag somewhere in the definition of each goody that determines whether a scout will pop it... sorry, can't remember which. I'm almost certain that barbs are the only results with this flag set, so yes warriors should get precisely the same outcomes as scouts (all RNGs being equal).
