Is there a difference between a scout and a spy?

[Wish]

spies can also cause unrest whilst in a province, if given the right command.

MA Man (bard)
MA&LA Marignon (spy)
MA Tien Chi (imperial consort)
MA Ulm (spy)

There are other spies:
LA Man (Magister)
LA Ulm (illuminated & 2nd Tier)

There have to be some in EA, right?

I don't know about spies, but there are certainly stealth preachers in EA.

[PhilD]

Almost all Helheim (EA) commanders are stealthy, and all of those except the basic scout are also priests, so they're stealthy preachers - but none of them are spies.

[Aleph]

EA Pangea does have unrest increasing troops (sneaks, revelers), and coupling them with a stealth preacher (dryad) gives you nice offensive stealth options in EA, although they still lack good info. The dryad/sneak combo in particular, as stealth +20 across the board, are real hard to find even before the unrest spirals up.

All Pangea ages can do this, but they might be the only stealth unrest drivers in EA.

Helheim doesn't need spies because they can automatically spy on provinces where they have positive dominion. Other nations have other means of "scrying" on provinces, too.
