Scouts: The purpose of scouts is to detect troop movements deep in enemy territory, not near your borders where you get free intelligence. Use them to locate key enemy provs: forts provs, high income provs, low pd provs, etc.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but how do scouts help you locate high income provinces? You can find out terrain type without scouts, and I didn't think scouts let you know the exact income/population.

Just wondering because sometimes I'd really *like* to know if an indie province is worth taking, (without having to wait for my dominion to spread there).
