A couple of questions from an old noob

You can usually get a source for more scouts by building a new fortress, too... of course that's costly in itself. But information is very important!

Yeah, I know, but I'd like that fort to churn out mages.

I guess not all nations have equal access to non-capital mages, though, in which case a scout fort would be a good idea. Also, I suppose most early forts will probably have at least a few turns to build scouts, before the temple and lab comes online.
