That is just amazing!!! You are so lucky.

 

[lbhhh]

Makes up for all the times you didn't get one. Nice going!

Yes there are games that I have a big tech lead and don't get any

I almost never get any period. Great job!

 

[Hyena]

Hehe, why doesn't this ever happen to me? Good job.

 

[paulfish]

has anybody had this happen to them before or heard of it?

 

[Pfeffersack]

Yes, it was reportet several times before.Typing in "2 SGLS" or similar words should bring up a lot of threads in the search engine.Especially for a scientific civ it isn that unlikely...1/400 for two first dicovered techs in a row.With a substantial tech lead, you can get this chance many times in a game.

In a row, yes, but not in one turn. There are only two chances per game maximum for 2 SGLs in one turn: discovering Philosophy first and completing the Theory of Evolution.

I should have read more carefully...

"And the RNG gods looked down, and smiled upon paulfish, and all was well."



Sure is nice when the RNG likes you, huh?

 

[paulfish]

Yes it is but now I get to see if I used up all my luck up.

 

[Turner]

Well, play them right and you won't need any more luck.

 

[LulThyme]

In a row, yes, but not in one turn. There are only two chances per game maximum for 2 SGLs in one turn: discovering Philosophy first and completing the Theory of Evolution.

That still leaves just a bit under 1% chance PER GAME of getting twice in a turn with a scientific civs that gets philo and a new tech first +ToE and same.
Which explains why we get this thread about every month or so by newer posters

 

[Turner]

Can it also happen on a scientific civs free tech per era?

 

[Cuivienen]

I suppose it could. That makes the maximum number of SGLs in one turn four - one from a tech researched, two from ToE and one from a Sci civ's Modern Era free tech.

 

[ForbiddenPalace]

What difficulty level is the game?

How is that possible? Does is not seem to be a waste of Darwins Voyage?

 

[paulfish]

It is on Regent.
