Default Re: Send Horror and Scouts

I have used horrors + scouts successfully in MP.

It works about 80% of the time.

I try to always move into a adjacent province (from hiding), after attacking that adjacent province with a horror. It works most of the time but occassionally the scout attacks the province he was hiding in and obviously dies. I think when you change from hiding to move there must be a chance that the PD detects your scout and fights a battle in the magic phase with your scout.

Giving a attack order to a scout hiding in a province and sending a horror in works alot less often. Probably 50%, depends wether your horror or scout attack 1st.

Got to say I am okay with how it works at the moment as its a resource cheap, effective tactic, worse case scenario you lost a scout and some blood slaves, no big deal.

I have a problem with how it works as a non-blood nation on the receiving end
To do the equivalent as non-blood requires the gem/gold expense of a thug or a high gem cost for an effective province attack spell - Call of the Winds doesn't exactly cut it.
