Eagle Scout vision-and-raid plan

Eagle Scout: Eagle Scouts provide mobile vision and can transition from scouting into pressure against exposed economy. Their conversion resistance also makes them useful for checking routes near Monks without committing the main army.

Overview

Eagle Scout: Eagle Scouts provide mobile vision and can transition from scouting into pressure against exposed economy. Their conversion resistance also makes them useful for checking routes near Monks without committing the main army.

Plan and execution

Use the starting Eagle Scout to inspect the opponent’s production, wall gaps, and resource camps. Keep it moving between useful sightlines and send additional Eagles to raid once the route is known; regroup them before attacking a defended position.

Risks and adaptation

Eagle Scouts have limited early damage and should not fight under a Town Center or Castle. Preserve their scouting value, and add the later Eagle line only when the economy can support the transition.
