    Default did you know?

    That you can send other units with your scouts when scouting a city?

    One time i sent one scout, and 99999 archers, the scout worked just like layering, and i took out alot more scouts then 100k.


    ive never seen anyone talk about this before

    Wait, so what you're saying is that Archers can kill scouts when you go scout a city? GENIUS!

    Also takes away the key benefit of scouts; that 3k movement speed.

    But..they have 10x longer to realise that there's archers and...close the gates....

    Scout attempt worked...scout kill failed.

    You don't have the flashy birdy for scout reports.

    Scout + Archers = WIN!

    I've been using this tactic for awhile, when my scouts aren't enough.

    Oh I know, but I mean that you have 10x longer to notice it.
    w/ regular fast scouts there's virtually no chance of seein' it...at arher speed there's a chance, though.

    I prefer ponies for that very reason, mind you...still make up for some of the lost speed.

    No, what I mean to say is, it doesn't show up in the enemy movement logs at all for a scout mission, regardless of the time it takes to march there.
