I've seen a number of players comment on how huts add too much 'luck' into the game. But I am here to play a game and ultimately to entertain myself, so sometimes I like to see how my luck goes. Often I find I enjoy the first phase of exploration the most because I get to run around and try to pop huts before the AI gets them (or the bears get me!).
So as a lark I decided to see just how many huts you could pop. All at once.
So I constructed a scenario in WB where in one move you pop 20 huts and capture a city. You won't believe all the goodies you get with each play! Right now it is set up so that you start with no techs, which limits the selection of what you can pop to the basic tier, but you can muddle around with the save yourself if you want a different variety. My record so far is 4 techs in the big pop, but I am still trying!
Here are screenshots of my best and worst so far with The Lucky Popper, as well as the save so you can play along. My best, 4 techs, 2 scouts, 2 warriors, 501 gold. My worst, hit end turn instead of attacking city. oops. Give it a try, but I warn you it can be addictive!
