I'm learning the value of direct scouting in this game...

Vines are ALWAYS accompanied by those guys in my experience. So if you see vines, assume bloodhenge druids. They also like to accompany woodsmen, so I always check woodsmen provinces to see if there are any vines or druids around before committing to an attack.

But yes, if you want to check what's in a province, a scout set to retreat is a good idea. This also lets you confirm the exact numbers of units that are in the province. Of course, the scout needs a retreat route or it will die.
