Number 3 is correct. At least from what I have heard here. (I'm sort of a newb myself.)

Yes, #3 is correct. If you have a scout or spy in the province you will have lower intelligence error.

You can also just record the successive estimates over several turns and average them for a somewhat more accurate guess.

This doesn't help when the force you're trying to assess isn't independent, though, as it may move, recruit, split up or have reinforcements join it. If you want an accurate assessment of another nation's army, you will need a scout, spy, Bard, or other stealthy unit.

Astral Projection, Astral Window, and Eyes of God work too.

So you think there isn't a sort of "gorwing" in independents ? I rarely seen 70-80 units on an Inependent province the first few turns, but often later in the game... and I think it will be quite unusual (silly) if the player forces increase turn by turn while the independents stay as they are in the beginning ...

Arcoscephale's dominion also provides very accurate scouting reports.
