  • Scout promotion

    Have started a couple of games with raging barbarians turned on, and when a scout hits a goodie hut with advanced promotion, kiss scout goodbye, cause he gets hit by about 3 or 4 animals right away. I promoted the scout to woodsman 2, for extra move. This happened in about 4 games, at noble level. Has this happened to anybody else

    No. Animals have never attack scouts in all of the games I played. The scout unit having +100% defence against animals helps a lot.

      Yes, but that only makes a scout as good defensively as a warrior... I've had the scout die to animals more times than I can count.

        Animals attacked your scouts? Did they smell bad or something?

            animals attack anything that isn't barbarian (since they're actually the same nation) and is outside of any cultural radius.


            If I play a civ that gets a scout to start, I'm about 50% on getting it promoted through a goodie hut. I get the woodsman II as well for movement, and he never dies from animals because I -keep- him in the woods The animals don't beeline for promoted units.. they just attack whoever's within their line of sight. I've definitely seen animals move away from my units if they are more than 2 squares away.
