Goodie huts

[mrmichaeln]

Can you get more than 50 gold from a goodie hut?

What about tech? Has anyone ever 'discovered' a tech from the Middle Ages and beyond?

And I might as well ask about units. What is the most advanced unit that you can get?

I think you can get 100 gold from a hut. By the time the middleage is reached all the goodie huts are normally discovered, but I guess you could get a middleage tech if you found a goodie hut.

I think the best unit you can get from huts is an army.

You can only get ancient age techs from goody huts. This was in some chat or something from Firaxis.

I've only seen 50 gold rom huts. But, I don't know for sure what the limit is.

No Armies from huts... that was a bug in an old patch.

I think 50 gp is the max, and I'm pretty sure no techs after the ancient era.

Units are Settler, Warrior, and Horsemen... but no Settler if you have currently have one or have one under construction.

HORSEMAN? i never saw one of those babies from a hut

[Theseus]

Oops sorry, I don;t know where my head was at.

No Horsemen from huts.

Since I usually got barbs from the hut, nowadays, I don't even bother openning the hut.

PS: I have seen 50 golds from the hut before but never 100 golds.

Sorry I were totally wrong..

i got a horseman once. I went to the hut with a scout playing as americans and had a horses resource back in my country. It can be done!

I dont realy mind getting barbarians too much, I can always use a 5/5 warrior!

I tested this out on a map I made and placed 50 or so huts on my large island. I found that I would get all the techs in Ancient age and no further. Also I would be lucky to get one settler very early on (i just read that you can't be building a settler or have one roaming around to pop a settler). Also 50 gold was max and I could only pop warriors early on. Once all techs in ancient were discovered from huts only huts with gold, maps of the region and abandoned huts were popped.

if some can give you hourse back riding, you should be able to get horsemen!
