Re: scouts in early age
Usually I wont take a scout instead of a mage (USUALLY).
But there are times when I want to build up an army fast and I dont have enough for the mages I want, and no immediate need of another commander or priest, so I get a scout.
As far as Early Age games, I really cant see the never a scout thing. BUT I can see the suggestion that new players should look really hard at using other provinces to make commanders. Until later in the game when I want thugs, I can often skip getting elite commanders for some indept version. Or at least, my armies can stand to have a ratio of 1 to 5 for elites traveling with indepts. That makes sense to me, to create commanders outside the castle in a steady flow to the castle in order to pick up and move around troops.
