Default Stealth values

As we now can see the stealth value of the generic scout has been raised considerably, and that is of course all fine and well. But how come that some of the non-generic (and often more expensive scouts) have been left out.

As an example of this I will take the LA Atlantis "Tent Owner" (25g). Yes he still is an amphibian but his stealth value (+0) is now much inferior to the standard scout (+10).

I believe there are lots and lots of more examples like this.

Default Re: Stealth values

Most national scouts have recieved a stealth bonus. SOme might have been missed. (Jotuns are not missed - they are supposed to be less stealthy than ordinary scouts).

Markatas are the winners in the scout race.

I see. Guess I was too hasty in drawing conclusions.

Although the "Tent Owner" should have a better stealth value as he doesn't have to use inns.

But he also stands out in a crowd.

The ones stealthing just use a pup tent. Not too noticeable.

I'll have a section on scouts and stealth values in the 3.14 shortlist once I get the DB done. There are a couple of units that need the stealth value checked due to strangeness or being overlooked.

In a MA Bandar log SP game, I had great fun with markatas (+50 stealth) carrying stone idols. They never got found out, even in capitals.

+50 is just awesome.
