Again; ask the people who've been scoutbombed by millions and lost 500k archers only to have a wave of 200k archers literally walk ito their city w/o any damage.

Scouts are cheap, fast to train and reduce honour fast and easy.
Would you rather send 500k archers out and lose half, or send out a million worthless scouts and not even need to lose a single archer?

It' snot worth it? That's personal opinion. I don't think catapults are worth it, but some folk have 100k. Scoutbombin' isnae a tactic I use; I don't care for it. But apparently some people think it's worth it; and the fact that they can literally tear down cities w/o a single loss to the real troops, it seems to be pretty effective.

Again; go read some of the threads that discuss scoutbombin' and how dangerous it is.
Whether you personally think it's worth the loss of millions of scouts or not doesnae change the fact that it's a common tactic out there and that a lot of people use it...effectively, at that.
I'm suggestin' a counter-measure against it because it is used. I'm not gunna say swordsmen are completely useless when they're exceptionally talented at utterly haltin' a popular attrition tactic.
