Curragh Idea
here's a stupid idea i just had 
curraghs are meant to explore, they can't transport anything.
what if they had the option of popping coastal goodyhuts at the expense of a movement point? it seems to fit into their "role" quite well, and in my current game, there are a ton of uninhabited islands, with a ton of coatsal goodyhuts that no one will pop until they load units onto galleys and come back for them.
what say ye? is this a decent idea?

It makes sense to me...would be the in-game example of a ship sending out rowboats or canoes to investigate a small tribe.

I would say the easiest fix would be to have the curragh capable of carrying one unit (preferably not a military unit...like a scout, or even a worker for that matter). If you happen to pop a barbarian hut...well, "thems the breaks."

That would make exp on a map with lots of island very strong. No worry about barbs.

I like this idea, but I'd also like to see barb huts modified to spawn a galley or two (I know, I know... max 2 barb units, but that "feature" should be changed anyway).
Even without that, its not bad: pop some barbs? no problem. Pop a "skilled" warrior on that one-tile island? Sucks to be you.

A good idea. I modded the curragh to transport 1 unit specificly to pop the goody huts. I'm content with it.

I have too, however one small problem I have so far not seen the AI do it? Or even use them to transport anything. I notice though that they send everything in twos, so I will be next testing the 'curragh' unit with ability to transport 2 and see if that does not inspire their use. I also made it so they can be made from the get-go or very first turn. We'll see, the AI use triggers are often a seeming mystery; sure wish I could 'tweak' those 'sacred cow routines'. HINT, HINT....  Firaxis are you listening....

I think it would be cool if ships spawned a floating goodie hut if they got sunk.
Maybe the curagachitsname could bombard goodie huts?

Ok, but put barbarian ships and barbarian piracy again in the game.

Well, there are ships...but barbarian piracy would be cool. Basically a later age barbarian ship, with the enslavement ability.
