Camel Scout Dark Age information route
Camel Scout: Camel Scouts are primarily an information unit in the Dark Age. They can locate resources and herdables while revealing the routes the economy will need later.

Overview
Camel Scout: Camel Scouts are primarily an information unit in the Dark Age. They can locate resources and herdables while revealing the routes the economy will need later.
Plan and execution
Use the Camel Scout to find sheep or other herdables, inspect nearby gold and stone, and check which side of the base may be attacked. Keep its route efficient and return before it is trapped by terrain or an enemy Scout.
Risks and adaptation
Its early attack is too weak to justify a fight. Avoid harassment that risks losing the only source of vision, and do not confuse scouting with an early military commitment.
