Who likes a scout as first prophet?

[Griefor]

I usually just have my very first commander become a prophet, while my scout goes off scouting and I build some more troops.

I feel this is most useful for the start, helping my early expansions.

Still, I'm a newbie at this and I have not currently got a good idea of when to kill my prophet to make place for a superior candidate, which does seem important as that first commander does not really make the best possible use of all the bonuses being a prophet gives.
