Hire indy scouts. They are likely available in most of your captured provinces.

thnx
i really didn't think on that .

No problem. Glad to help. BTW, at 20gp each, indy scouts are dirt-cheap.

yeah just like the "national ones" most nations have

.
but expect indep mages i haven't recruited any indep troops so far lol . just found them bad return for my money ^^.
but for such cases like indep scouts as stocks they are great .
thnx again for opening up my mind there .
i wouldn't have come to that idea myself .
i really kinda didn't see the wood for the trees here

thought on summoning black servants for that while the scouts are the much cheaper + simpler solution .
i castle everything anyway quite soon as abysia so i could recruit even 10 scouts / turn in midgame if i would want to ^^.

You do NOT need a castle to recruit indy scouts.

hehe yeah right .
but to protect them i need one

i really lack expierience with indep troops / cheap leaders .
i never used any of them expect mages and really rarely priests .

just curious now :
can you tell me a nation for which indep troops are good ? i always play with watchtower as castle and those races with which a watchtower seems like a bad choice ( e.g. standard ulm ) i somehow don't like and almost not play .
but expect perhaps some ultra rare sites like the ones where you can recruit trolls the indep troops seem to me just extremely inferior to almost all national troops . same with non-mage leaders ( expect now the scout too

).

always like the choice between a leopard 2 and a t 54

You can just move them to a castled province.

yeah but i love to castle

. although i am still a newbie i think i will never change my mind and always stay a fan of castling in dom 2 unless they change something severely in a new patch which i don't hope that it happens

unless it is like reducing build time for watchtower to 1 turn or adding castle walls to the watchtower
