The Best Random Event You've gotten

[dragomaster]

I got the free pinch promotion on my oromo warriors. Drill 1, 2 and pinch: heavy unit indeed.

I got The Truffles event on my Financial Capital, which was on a Plains Hill. It gave me a guaranteed 3F2H3C tile with additional benefit, since I was playing on Marathon! Then, I got (later) the Free GP event, where I could choose between a settled Great Prophet, Great Scientist, or Great Merchant, in my capital! It totally rocked.

Aside from that, the Horse Whisperer Quest. Finished it for 7 HAs, which were converted into Keshiks since I was playing as Mongolia...BURN!!!

I remember I had one about some kind of election being close and they gave me a couple of really nice options for my courthouses everywhere. Since a courthouse is in nearly every city, that was a good one to have. I forget what the bonus exactly was though, maybe somebody else that's had it will remember.

Game I just played I got that cover promotion on all melee right before I launched an all out assault on my first victim. It made it a breeze to take out archers, my swordsmen wound up getting CRIII promotions and being useful until Muskets came around.

Having March for your entire set of Gunpowder would definately be a game changer. I've had that inflation one too, that was nice.

I like that one where you can increase an airport's happiness, that's pretty useful in the late game.

My favorite (at least, the most entertaining) one so far has been the harbormaster quest. I got that in one game where I was playing as Hannibal on a Big and Small map, where I started on a really small island (could only fit five cities on the starting land). I chose the free combat 1 for all warships. That came in REAL handy in the late game, when Shaka and Cathy teamed up to try a naval invasion......

The first was pretty nice. A choice between a free Military Instructor, Great Merchant or a Great Preist.

The second was a pleasant surprise. 30 gold for 3 pop is reasonable i guess.

EdiT*Off topic but i thought it was wierd that in this game every civ is researching communism and such and yet none of them even have gunpowder.

The most entertaining event I received was to locate a secret sacred mountain. To locate it, I had to build 10 religious buildings and settle to the bottom of the mountain. I remembered the bonus to be real cheap, but I enjoyed completing this quest

I love the inflation event, as well as the one who provide you with 8 mounted archerys, that can easily be converted to knights.
