Scouting

[Surreal]

Alright I am doing alright I guess overall as a player. Taken some player cities, scouted some things and what not. But being this is my first server I know I don't know half of everything yet alone everything so here is my question.

I have Informatics level10, 114Int hero and sent 15k scouts to inspect my desired target.

I am sending these scouts from a city built for raiding. AKA it has bare bones...academy 5 for relief, farm lv5 for relief and then Inn / FH / Rally / Stable / Relief...basic bare bones raiding city.

Now with this. Would it effect my information gathering in any way?

I am not getting ANYTHING from my scouts. I am lucky to get Resources from my target yet alone construction, troops, fortifications....What am I doing wrong?

Heres a scout report for a level10 lake owned by the person I am attacking (Used a lake for an example of my problem)

Thats 15k scouts, 114 Int hero and lv10 informatics.....I then later figured whatever...sent 100 scouts to attack it and took the place. Nothing was there, no one nada zip zilch ZERO....
