And then, bein' iron manshields, they act as a pretty solid layer regardless.
I have both, personally. Heavy layers of swords and pikes, then thinner layers of everythin' else. Both together help each other do the job better and work as a good preventative to pony attacks and scoutbombs, as well as bein' a serious issue against anythin' that wants to kill layers.
Scouts are low value, so you'd need a lot of them to attract the attention of the bomb, and then you'd lose a hell of of a lot of them as well since it's 1:1 troop fightin'.
At least w/ swords, the scouts slam into them and barely do any damage, while the swords murder them fast.
100k scouts will kill about 4k swords.
40k swords will kill 100k+ scouts.
It's ju's not efficient or practiacl to use your scouts for it...might as wel use workers for all the good it would do.
