The most extreme map - concerning that matter - which comes to my mind is desert tournament. I don't know if you can always place a scout hut that close there, but I guess so. And anyway, the normal scout program has a bigger range than the attack range of military buildings...
I don't know how powerful he is now after the change. I guess more powerful, and scout huts are probably the cheapest buildings in the game as the scout doesn't need a tool. So I think that he would be too powerful indeed.
Again, why changing the current tribes that much? And what would be the point for hunters, fishers, game keepers and fishbreeders? They would waste more resources than they'd create. And what do you think is better: A pair of forester and woodcutter plus a tavern, 2 hunters, 2 game keepers or two pairs of forester+woodcutter?
This wouldn't be very helpful for atlanteans, but very helpful for the empire. Barbarians are somewhere in between...
Yes, that is illogical indeed. But fixing that could also affect the balance heavily, as the barbarian game keepers usually produce big animals. And possibly many maps would have to been checked... Nevertheless one could think about solving the problem, and the game keepers could produce only rabbits or something like that, that would be better anyway as they are silent Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote |

Unsure. The scout would still do nothing but increase the vision range. It would make some maps feel less spacious. Alternatively, should it be possible to bind a watch window to the scout himself? Edited: 2018-01-29, 05:34

Why do you think that it's not already possible? Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote |

Open the watch window for a scouts house. As soon the scout begins scouting click on 'follow' Fight simulator for Widelands: |
