How do we use Scouts?

Rabelais... your wrong.

Bow of War is directly affected by the strength of the unit as well. Go back and check.

Playing MP with score graphs disabled,scouts are even more,much more, important.
Its after all the only cheap possibility to gain the much needed imformations,like for example:
-which nations is about to win=near the victory condition
-how many provinces/castles/temples/... do your neigbours have
-...

Other than that ,I tend to use scouts also a lot to move items/gems to commanders,to transfer blood slaves or blood hunt,to watch enemy tactics during battles(you also gain knowledge of the spells the enemy already has researched) AND especially in the beginning of games to attack nearby provinces(order:retreat) to gain accurate information of the defense at once.

You are also wrong Saber Cherry...
I just checked the description for the BOW OF WAR

Damage is : 10
( Strength of wielder not added )

That's directly from the game

First you say that it *is* affected, then you quote from the game that it *isn't* ... which is precisely what Cherry said. So how is Cherry wrong? Please make up your mind. And please use a little more tact. Cherry doesn't deserve the highly confrontational tone of your post(s).

I'll go back to lurking again ...

NTJedi,

Do you even know what "Strength not added" means?

It means it's not affected by strength. Or more clearly, it means that it's not affected by strength. Which is the opposite of "Directly affected by strength".

That could be my mistake then... and the description can be read either way.

Damage 10 saying the damage is 10 and the strength of the wielder has not yet been added.

Seems much more logical for them to add:
(strength of wielder added) to the one ThunderBow
instead of adding {strength of wielder not added to all of the bows but one.
