Place the scout with valor as a standard in the front ranks with the troops etc. I think it is good that the abilities do not allways serve to make your commanders as powerful as possible, the unpredictabilty encourages people to change the focus of heroes and thus adds to the flavour of the game. Now you can have archer knights and never tiring infantry commanders, mages who have partaken of the strength and fury of the winter wind and assasins so famed and feared that they inspire nearby troops to stand firm in battle.
This is a good thing.
I don't agree, but that's OK. What's more important is that you're deliberately ignoring the heart of the issue: scouting heroes gaining the "Squirreltongue" ability. I think that would be unbelievably cute, and make DomII more marketable in the 7-12 year old girl bracket. There could also be a FMV of the scout talking with woodlands creatures, gathered around in a semicircle like a scene from Bambi.
