The luck tho

[Lexicus]

Just started up a game as Korea, and get BW from a goody hut then proceed with my warrior to a second goody hut, and unlock....

Iron Working!!

With iron in my capital's BFC.

What's in that bottle???

 

[Gumbolt]

Is this Noble? Marathan speed? Kinda feels like cheating if the AI don't start with scouts as you can seriously abuse huts. You still have to win the game!

Early swords rush here should wipe out 2-3 AI. Chop chop! They start with warriors too.

Emperor, Epic speed.

Emperor, Epic speed.

Holy crap, I didn't even know you could get IW from huts at Emperor. Then again, it been a while since I checked the hut rewards for each difficulty.

It's the game patting you on the back for still playing it.

 

[6K Man]

You can still get techs from huts all the way up to Deity. The odds of doing so get worse and worse, though.

I seem to remember from a few years back someone had an article/post on here listing the odds for popping huts at each difficulty level. Anybody know where I can find it?

 

[lymond]

I recall seeing that too, but can't remember who posted it. Best bet is to google some key words or use the search function here.

Invalid results (e.g. Barbarians when entering village with a scout) are rerolled until either a valid result comes up or after 10 rolls the hut just disappears.

 

[reddishrecue]

It seems you get the results the same in noble and deity since there are only 2 techs on each difficulty.
Since you're Korea, you can have a good productive start. The question is cottages or production depending on what the map reveals later on.

You can get up to astronomy from huts...always funny when that happens
