Re: Is there a difference between a scout and a sp
 

EA Pangea does have unrest increasing troops (sneaks, revelers), and coupling them with a stealth preacher (dryad) gives you nice offensive stealth options in EA, although they still lack good info. The dryad/sneak combo in particular, as stealth +20 across the board, are real hard to find even before the unrest spirals up.

All Pangea ages can do this, but they might be the only stealth unrest drivers in EA.

Helheim doesn't need spies because they can automatically spy on provinces where they have positive dominion. Other nations have other means of "scrying" on provinces, too.

Are you sure you don't have Helheim mixed up with Arcoscephale? Scrying dominion is Arco's province, not Helheim (and I've played a fair bit of Helheim)

Re: Is there a difference between a scout and a sp
 

I haven't said that Helheim is scrying on enemy provinces, but other nations do. I believe scrying is something different than what I described, although I never played a nation who does it so I don't know for sure. Helheim can see the population, income and resources of every province where they have a positive dominion.

Everyone can see population, income and resources in positive dominion, but Arco also gets reports on army strength as if they had a scout in the province in positive dominion.

Heh, okay, I didn't know that everybody can do that. I must have had low dominion on the other games that I played and never noticed that, forgive me for being a n00b... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Ich,

Don’t worry, I just learned that as well and I have been playing for a few years now…
