What to put in goody huts?

What are your opinions about what should be included in goody huts (if you think they should be in the game)? Should they be randomized? I have not yet seen any on the screenshots, has anyone?

I reckon their should be units, colonies, barbarians, gold & science. For expansionist civs their should be stronger units, cities, no barbarians, gold, science & maps.

i know its too late probly but i fink they shud have the random option of a nother civ coming out them with a settler and defence unit of form a city and nick your unit

Well, I don't think there should be colonies coming out of goodie huts. May be a worker, but not a colony.

I reckon it should be about the same as in civ2.

I think there shouldn't be any science goody huts, but I like all the others from civ2. I would like to see the same in civ3.

I hated to uncover a goody hut amidst desert or close to one of my cities, find an advanced tribe and get a city that I had to disband again. Please give me settlers instead!

Well, IIRC if you disband a 1 size city in civ2, it will become a settler. Problem solved!

Actually I would expect it to become a worker

Perhaps a size 1 couldn't disband to a settler and would have to wait until size 2...

campmajor!, what I hated were not the mouseclicks needed to disband a city again by building a settler, but the several turns that took.

Goody huts are in, and according to Firaxis expansonist civs get better stuff out of them. This tends to suggest that it is random like civ2 . My only worry is what they mean by better.

That is not goody huts, but barbarian villages (the replacement of goody huts). You will no longer get anything for free.

I would guess that goody huts probably give similar things that they gave in civ2, cities, techs, units, gold, etc

The difference will be that expansionist civs don't get barbarians or not as often. This would make that ability really worthwhile. While, normal civs sometimes get a free city or tech but also get nasty barbarians, expansionist civs would almost always get the free city, free tech, extra gold etc. This would give expansionist civs a much better head start than other civs. But it is just my guess!

Sounds like the Native American villages in Colonization. It would be neat if they were divided into mini-civ barbarian tribes--we could have Mongols, Turks, Maylays, Celts, Apache, Tupi, Bantu...

Well one of the expansionist attributes is 'Get better stuff from barbarian villages'. I have also seen, on one of the E3 videos that you just enter the things like a normal goody hut and the kind of result is similar. I presume barbarian encampments or whatever they are called are a different thing altogether...

But what to put in goody huts...well, goodies
