  1. #1

    Default Scouts

    Lets talk about scouts and how much you like them ill start
    On age1 they are more useful because you can insta them and people have more troops for bombs
    On age2 in the beggining i keep alot of them (100k in each city) but once i conquer a 12 i lower to 75k then 14 i lower to 50 when i cap a 16 i keep not alot instead alot of troops would be better becuz if you dont have any scouts but millions of troops it doesnt matter instead i keep about 600k in 3-4
    cities becuz at that point i have alot of troops and i own a 16 so i own the state and i can keep my cities in the state then if get alot of troops i would cap Atlantis and keep no scouts cuz i own the sever wadya think

    i dont play age 2, but on age 1 scouts are a very powerful offensive tool. Although there impact is lessened on botters because of gate opening and closing, they are still very useful for clearing walls.

    but i still like ponies

    Ponies more useful in age 2 for spam large waves are expensive and most of the time mechs are better

    Sounds like plan

    Anyway... On topic ... I've never been a huge scout fan. Scouts in a lot of situations I believe are the noob troop, this is not to say that they aren't useful but I've seen too many people whose primary tactic for every city is to scout bomb it into oblivion. I've never been a big scouter since I don't spend money on my heroes and I usually get a friend to scout, and I usually don't keep many scouts in my cities because as long as they can't wipe the city a report isn't going to help them.

    well i have no idea about age 2 sounds alot different then age 1
    but anyhow, i keep any where from 500k to 1mil just depends on
    the stage of the game and such ...during the start of a server seems to
    be the hardest to keep many seeing how everyone is tossing them
    all over trying to prove how cool they are and what not but hey if
    i could i probally would do the same thing LMAO

    ive never been a huge scout man, but you gotta run a tonne in war citys in age 1. i keep gates closed to avoid descouting at all times (as it doesnt mater if they know what i got if i can kill whatever they send)

    scouts are one of my favourite troops, becase with Server 6 being one of the last scout/arch servers (before the merger) it was more fun knowing you could beat any city, defender online or not (a few exeptions of course, but these were the minority) rather then running into a war city fueled by alts running far more food then i could possibally farm in 12 years and troops to match altho fun to fight, i allways lose, Numbers arnt on my side

    for age 2 im a big scout fan, in my war city ill generally keep 5 mil or so, theyve many uses great for knocking up ppls honour for mechwaves quickly so you get a good heal, also great for weakening archer or mech count in defences

    theyre also great in high volumes in your main hcs or citiesfor defending, theyre a pain to clear nothing worse than hitting a player blind unless youve a nice stock of e&es

    I am thinking, "Are you out of your mind?"

    Scouts are just as important in Age2 as they are in Age1. While it is true you can use an ear and ear strat to get a "free" scout report on a city, scouts as an offensive unit are great.

    Plus, who sends their mech waves, phract waves, etc. without first dumping all their honor on the person they are attacking? After using an e/e to see your target has 2 million or so scouts in their city (obviously I play a different server than you, b/c we all have a lot of scouts), nothing beats sending wave after wave of scout attempts to dump your honor on them without their alliance noticing you are about (assuming their gates are open). But be careful, good stars will allow your 100k scouts to wipe out 500k+ of theirs and you gain honor instead :/

    And of course you can never underestimate the usefulness of scout bombs.

    I love my scouts and could never have too many. I keep a minimum of 1 million in every city and about 12 million in my war city.

    Since when is it bullying to use troops intelligently? Why kill troops that take a long time to train and a lot of resources when you can use troops that are fast and cheap to train?

    by your definitions, I am a classless bully maybe so, but I win my battles without throwing away troops.

    I for one love scouts although I won't build 62mil of them just to throw at someone. Then again I won't build 62mil of any troop honestly. SBing someone to death isn't bullying, you can simply close your gates and the scouts won't do a damn thing but hit your walls. You might even catch a hero or two
