Odds for Goodie Huts?

They are largely useless once the whole land area of the world is explored, though I do tend to hang onto them until then because you might find an island or small continent that's unsettled. They can't be upgraded beyond Explorer; personally I think there should be a modern era unit like Recon Team they can upgrade into. Give them a strength of perhaps 14, and start them with 2 move and the Sentry and Commando promotions.

What a great idea!

I suppose I'll find out how to add that to my copy of Blakes mod since that's the only single player I'm ever going to play anyway. IIUC it's pretty trivial to add things like a single new unit. Now I need to find out exactly how.

Agree with that - they are overly weak.

Mostly they are useless, however you can use them as medic units. They are the weakest in stacks so the last which are attacked. This gives them a marginal usefulness. Also you can use them to delay invaders. They might be weak but they are units so the enemies needs to end his turn by killing them if he wants to get passed them.

No. Two units are in the "explorer" group of units: scouts and explorers. They have better chances than any other units. Those two never get barbarians from a hut. Everything else uses the other table.

OK, understod. TVM again

Going back to an old discussion - upgrade them to Geurillas

Quick question...
Do goodie huts stop giving techs after a certain period of time, like in CIV3?

Thanks in advance!

Not as far as I know, I’ve heard stories of people getting Astronomy from a hut later in the game but all I seem to get are scouts, warriors and maybe some cash. Still not quite as good as the “Asteroid mining” that I found in one of my CTP games.

[DrSpike]

There is a limit - I think it might be astronomy ironically!

Thanks for the responses folks!
