Scout Cavalry vision-and-pressure loop
Scout Cavalry reveal openings and can turn into light pressure against exposed Villagers or Archers once Feudal Age begins. Their early value is information: a living Scout shows walls, production, and where the opponent gathers.
Overview
Scout Cavalry reveal openings and can turn into light pressure against exposed Villagers or Archers once Feudal Age begins. Their early value is information: a living Scout shows walls, production, and where the opponent gathers.
Plan and execution
Use the starting Scout Cavalry to check the nearest resources and likely wall gaps. Return after an Age advance to see which production buildings appeared, then send a small group toward an undefended resource if a safe route exists. Keep the Scouts mobile so they can leave when a Spearman or Town Center blocks the approach.
Risks and adaptation
Their attack is weak and a long dive under defensive fire loses both health and vision. Do not confuse scouting with a requirement to fight; withdraw when the opponent has prepared a counter.
