...I wish people would stop complaining about all the gold their getting from huts....

Well, with some of you presumably up to your 8th or 9th hut, I just popped my first one.
And be happy with your gold! It will come in handy when you start going into negative gpt to maintain your research.

The friendly people under the leader of Champinoman would like to send out a greeting to a wandering traveler near their lands. May our friendship grow and ensure peace in the lands.

On that note, anyone else met a neighbor yet?

Actually we're on Prince. And Settlers are not poppable above Warlord difficulty level. (Neither are Workers, incidentally.)
For anyone interested, on Prince difficulty level these are the probabilities for huts (assuming my files are up to date):
Gold: 30% (large amount 10%, small amount 20%)
Barbarians: 20% (few 15%, lots 5%; ignored if the unit is a Scout)
Free Unit: 15% (warrior 10%, scout 5%)
Map: 10%
Experience: 10%
Tech: 10%
Healing: 5% (ignored if unit is at full health)
That means for a Scout at full health, the probabilities are adjusted to:
Gold: 40% (large amount 13.3%, small amount 26.7%)
Free Unit: 20% (warrior 13.3%, scout 6.7%)
Map: 13.3%
Experience: 13.3%
Tech: 13.3%
With 40% odds for gold, that probably explains why so many people have been getting it so much.
Remember this only applies for Prince level. These probabilities vary as the difficulty level changes. Generally the higher it is, the less likely you are to get something really nice (like a tech, a free unit, or gold), and the more likely you are to get barbs. In fact the only two things that remain constant across all the difficulty levels from Settler to Deity are that you always have a 5% chance of getting healed if you're damaged, and you always get a 5% chance of getting a Scout. Everything else changes.

Looks like Azz is the only one left to play this turn. 
LP I don't think we need updates everytime someone is last to play their turn. Everyone knows they have to play the turn and rarely does it make any difference by 'encouraging' them to do so here.
@Champino, I've already met a friend for life!

Fair point. I'll stop reminding people from now on, unless it's a special occasion or something.

I don't mind the reminders. 
Oh! And I found another civ!!

Don't worry about it, i'll be the first to jump on people when they start missing turns!

Those of us with scouts, why can't we be greedy and want to have more techs for free?

Cause those of us with warriors will then come hunt you down...

The Garlic empire has met the kind Khemr people.

Technically even with a fully healed Scout you should only get a tech about every 1 hut in 7-8. So getting one after only 1-2, or even 5, is quite lucky.

Confirmed... both this game and the Sirius intra-team one hosted by Dave are timing out.
