Forums / Questions and Answers / scouts are Too Weak

I constantly get a too weak to attack with a scout, this appears to make scouts totally useless for actually scouting.
Why is the single scout too weak? What is that compared against? The guardtowers? Walls, or troops, or all of the above.
How many troops should I send to make a decent scout? I dont want to have to send 100 out to do scouting, that seems wasteful

usueally 5 lvl ones are able to scout out all cities. i tend to jsut send out 3 lvl 5s tho that works too or 5 lvl 3s

dunno all i know is that one or two lvl 1 troops are too weak to attack

If I'm not misstaken it's a comparision of their DP compared to your OP. So all troops, peasents, gt and walls - everything is counted.

i don't think scouts are too weak, i took a city with 3 warlords.  Also, if you realy want to see what is inside a city, just EITS it or have an elf do it for you.

true, but it is also invisible so you can get through places much easier though you can't prep on cities.

i remember this one suggestion that was if you captured a city of another race you could train the troops of that race, invisable Nazzi scouts scare me!!!

Yeah, it seems like a good enough idea... I mean, if you have all the enemies weapons, tools, and tactic plans why can't you train their troops? ^^
