An idea about scouting (Was: [Discuss] delayed scouts active)

[Paris]

Hello.

I have not read the entire thread so far, but since everyone is
involved making suggestions and trying to find solutions I feel like I have
to say mine as well.

In short, I would suggest the following. Turn scouting back as it was and
start working on something a little bit more major.

-- Make scouting of a region inform the owning realm/authority with a
report. That way the ruler, the general or/and the local lord will be
informed that the neighbouring realm is scouting the region. Create an
option for them to 'close the gates' (hint! hint!) or to 'close the
borders'. If they click the specific option then no one will be able to
scout the region whether it is the very same realm or any other (intrigue
comes to my mind!). This way scouting even for peaceful or/and allied realms
may lead to War because of lack of trust between them.

Also, in addition to the above, you can make militia capture or at least
obstruct the scouts from doing their job. That way both the owning realm
will be informed of the scouting done and the realm attemping the scouting
will not have acquired the much desired scouting. --

Oh, I am so proud of being creative! *sarcasm* :D Heck, I know nothing about
coding and how difficult it may be to implement the idea. I have just shared
a vision.

Take care, everybody.
