Re: Why convert the starting scout to a prophet in turn 1
I disagree that your starting scout isn't useful as a scout.
Sent off in another direction than your first expansion army, he can identify your nearest neighbors, notice useful indies worth aiming for, etc.
Some of this can be vital to know early on.
Obviously, once you've found indy scouts, he's just one among many, but particularly in the EA indy scouts are sometimes rare.
