What Would You Like to Find in Your First Goodie Hut?

[Everyman]

Realistically, I always hope for a two-movement unit to expedite exploration and enable me to tip more goodie huts.

Ideally, I'd love to receive Monarchy.

Well... If I already have my first city down, I would take a non settler, or a free city... If not, a two movement unit would be nice

If I haven't placed it down yet, just give me that two movement non unit

yup what he said.... to be more specific i would like a chariot or elephant from a hut with a city down......

i will take the non settler over the city but really now....... who wants to be greedy

If its a high shield city down i will take 100g to pump out a couple of settlers before size two takes effect.

if its science then i will take alphabet with cheers and WC with jeers

But most of all if i have a city down i will take a non unit to go after my unfortunate neighbor can you say second city toast!

It's hard to beat those NON settlers, but who could argue with a village that teaches you monarchy? Apolytoners seem to loath archers, but a NON archer for your first city is good - no need to build a defender for a few centuries at minimum = more time to build what you want.

Well War4... Your answer is far more complete than mine

So to quote somebody I know...
"yup what he said"

Nomads.
It seems advanced tribes are always a square off, like next to a river instead of on it.

"but who could argue with a village that teaches you monarchy?"

When we play MP we restart if host has techs. If my fist hut is monarchy, I'm in big trouble, since it means I didn't find any huts early.

I'm with Ming and War4 on this one, (and it seems most others)
Non-2-movement unit if before first city. (an archer to protect my cap is almost as good)

Nomad after. But I won't whine about a city.
More 2-movements units,
Any tech that I'm researching.
100 gold is underated. Buying up settlers early can make a big diff.

2-move non-unit for the first two huts. After that, the tech I'm currently researching, a couple more 2-move non-units or 100 gold would be nice. Problem is, 100 gold is rare. Usually you get 50 or 25.

Depends on the game:

Normal game- settlers
Duel type game- offensive military unit 2x movement pref.

[oedo]

100 gold - as in every other hut too.

[DaveV]

A chariot. An early two-move unit can help you find and tip more huts, which can yield more units, who tip more huts...

Exploring the map early helps in a lot of ways, and having several fast units is the best way to explore. The chariot can also double as a barb killer if necessary.

I prefer the Settlers to getting a City, since usually the City is in a bad location. When I get a City from a hut in a bad location, I have it build a settler at Pop 1 and found a new city in a better location, or happy to get NON Settler to do work.

A 2 move unit is always nice for your first hut for more tipping, as mentioned in other posts.

100 gold. Must be nice.

[Juggler]

New settlers and units (except horsemen) always come in-handy.
However, you need 50gp or 100gp when you want to build a wonder and just dont have the money to build it.
