You can thug them out and use them as soldiers. Also: they can often beat the crap out of small province defenses, meaning that they can go from reporting the news to being the news at a moment's notice. Giant scouts also come with high-power javelins, meaning that if you're invading a province you can have them join in the festivities and kill stuff.Orion wrote:What's desirable about giant scouts? They're more expensive and less stealthy.
That being said: I'm actually surprised no one took the Forester. A Scout that comes with a short bow is surprisingly useful.

Giant nations have a lot of giant chassis units to thug out, so they don't care much for their loud pricy scouts. In a mix-and-match game, things are different. I wanted at least one recruitable thug chassis and the scout round was a fine moment for it. I don't care if a thug can't lead troops. As far as thugs go, the Jotun is beefier than the Edomite and also Sacred; it's a good time.Orion wrote:What's desirable about giant scouts? They're more expensive and less stealthy.
Don't get me wrong, I would have snapped up any of the ones I dammit'd over earlier, but between the Jotun and the Atavi (the other contender by the time it got to me) - I took the Jotun.
Somewhat concerned about Winnah taking a Spy first. He must have a very strong taste for causing unrest.
I don't understand why there aren't more scout bowmen. Seems weird.FrankTrollman wrote:I'm actually surprised no one took the Forester. A Scout that comes with a short bow is surprisingly useful.
Teehee. I'm glad to see I am not the only person who wanted this sleeper gem. And Frank had a similar idea by getting the Atevi Chieftain.angelfromanotherpin wrote:Dammit!Zinegata wrote:Taking the Bakemono Scout 1963 (Shinamuya)
I was fairly confident I'd get this though. Because no competent player would pass up the two flying scouts, and there were so many good assassin / thug choices.
I seriously made an SP game that had all of the nations human-controlled so I can have a reference on every nation's units because the wiki is down.Huh, finding choice kinda difficult myself, now. What a time for the wiki to be down.
A short bow plus Precision 12. He's the best cheap guy to give a Bow of War to.That being said: I'm actually surprised no one took the Forester. A Scout that comes with a short bow is surprisingly useful.
One thing I'm surprised that didn't get drafted: Shinamuya's assassin with fear.

I looked at the Mujina, but it's a 100 gold assassin with no armor.
That being said, my real choices were down to the Bandit Leader for the leadership, a sea scout, or the last giant. I went with the giant because a cheap recruitable who can hold magic items and not die to stray arrows or a single battlefield spell is really nice.

Rephaite Commander 2009 (Ashdod)
Oy, I should probably take the Storm General instead! But the Raphaite Commander is thuggable, and if I end up with some flying troops I can always have the harpy lead them if-need-be.

Would be for it, but it would be a really great advantage to get to draft first there.
120 Free points if you get to draft cold 3, bonus if you got to draft an unit like the jotun jarl...
So maybe I'm not really for it? Not shure...

I'm not surprised to see someone take the Mictlan Tribal King, but I am surprised to see him selected sixth. In any case, the provisional flags are in. If you want yours changed, just ask:
Those are in order of them being selected:
Ulvolge, Nimtir, Tsimzan, Carthacia, Sachs, Etimhara, Amblis, Huichan, Manditou.

I thought about the Tribal King. Spending turns to gain units is a cool feature that remains fairly useful throughout a game.
However, I go last in the priest draw, so outside of my prophet I'm not assured of having a basic comander that can boost morale. It's always a concern for me in the first few turns of expansion with a regular/starting army.
