Day 1 Scouting

Choosing a Profession

Selecting the best profession depends largely on the size of your map. With a small map, 12x12-14x14, it's probably that you won't need any permanent scouts. However, if your town is disorganized, it may be a good idea so that frequent special missions can be executed. In large maps, 24x24-25x25, it might be a good idea to have some permanent scouts. Camping and long expeditions will greatly benefit from the knowledge the watchtower cannot provide.

Day 1 Professions

In megacoalitions, such as Wonderful Failure, it is sometimes preferred to have zero permanent scouts, and on day 1 to use Brothers in Arms to create a number of temporary scouts.
