Role, availability & values

The editor entry lists 200 hit points, 26 line of sight and stealth detection. Its exact availability and behavior depend on the scenario or game setup that provides it.

Matchup & timing

Use its vision to scout or reveal a hidden approach when the mission supplies it. Keep it away from an army that can focus it, and do not count it as a regular combat unit.

Plymouth map scout and food drop

The Intrepid Turkey Scout is exclusive to the Plymouth map in The WarChiefs. It has 200 hit points, 10% ranged resistance, 4.0 speed and 26 line of sight, and can see stealth in Definitive Edition. It cannot attack and cannot be hunted like an ordinary Turkey; only enemy units can kill it. If killed or deleted, it drops a Delicious Feast containing 100 Food after a short delay. Like other pets it gains hit points as the player advances Ages, but it does not gain attack damage because it has no attack. Use its unusually wide vision to watch an approach or reveal hidden movement, then keep it away from enemy forces if the scout is still needed. The food drop is a secondary effect and should not be mistaken for a guaranteed hunting source.

Pet vision and Age upgrades

The Scout receives automatic Age upgrades to hit points: 20% in Commerce, 30% in Fortress, 40% in Industrial and 60% in Imperial Age. Its 26 line of sight is its main tactical contribution. Since it has no attack, the added durability extends the time it can watch an approach but does not let it defeat a pursuing unit.

Scenario scouting and stealth detection

The Intrepid Turkey Scout is a special pet associated with The WarChiefs and scenario content. Its 26 line of sight and ability to reveal stealth units make it an information tool, not a regular military unit. The recorded profile gives it 200 hit points, four speed and 10% ranged resistance. Use the sight to inspect an approach or uncover a hidden unit, and keep the Turkey Scout away from forces that can focus it.

Mode-specific access

The exact access and behavior depend on the scenario or game setup that supplies the unit. Do not plan a standard skirmish army around it unless the current roster explicitly provides it. Its value is the information it reveals: use that knowledge to reposition troops or avoid a concealed threat. Keep the unit moving with a safe route, and do not mistake stealth detection for combat strength.
