  • No hut option

    Should be in the start menu. Huts can really unbalance games, particularly multiplayer.
    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

    great idea! i completely agree with it

    but you don't have to worry about balancing multiplayer since it won't be in the game

      Firaxis hasnt talked once about huts, only barbarian encampments, which means you have to fight to take it (kinda like towns.)

        in the e3 trailer theres a hut.

        (a warrior steps on it and a barb comes out)

        but it could have changed since then.

          Also, there's mentioning of huts in the Civ-Abilities chart.
          However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

              In the CSA charts, it says Barbarian Encampments, not huts

                If you read carefully in the chart it states "Better stuff from barbarian villages". Villages is just a more formal word than huts.

                  OMG!!

                  Is horse actually agreeing with a reasonable person? (see the "hut, hut, Hike" thread)

                    It was in SMAC as a gameplay option so there is no feasible reason why it wouldn't be in Civ3 (like social engineering, unit workshop and multiplayer out of the box )

                        Agree for some, disagree for some.

                        After playing extensively online with custom maps, plain resources(ie not scattered), long games, huge maps, small maps, no doubles, with doubles.

                        With huts is always the most fun. No matter what. Some may consider it "hardcore" gaming to play without them. But I don't. After playing the series for 10 year huts are an integral part of the game.

                        You can prove your micromanaging ability in civ 2 if you play without them, but then you should also be playing on unrandomized identical maps if you are that comitted.

                        I think the real challenge is that it does unbalance the game. And you can really prove your ability if you overcome an opponent who had more huts than you. Also huts aren't always good, that's the risk. And that can prove how great of a player you really are. Most of the tourneys I've seen never played without huts.
