it does if you parry
yeah most hammers arent actually hammers lol
scouts where mostly light cavalry and skirmishers sent ahead of the army to look around
a parry can mean he glances your head
no helmet means you're dead
@Kealor scouts in european history
and it rhymes too
are mostly savages
never heard of dedicated scout coprs before modern times
like real scouts
usually mercenaries
and savages
okay, you want real scouts?
light cavalry
done
nah
mounted infantry
sent ahead because we don't care about them

i mean i cant see anything
^
and then come back
i mean when i played M2TW I always used mercenaries like that
granted
mercenaries are way more valuable
than your regular medieval army
in all honesty
scouts are inferior to just having your normal infantry look ahead
they arent expendable
irl you dont treat mercenaries like meat shields
your own army is expendable
also sent them in to carry the siege equipement
or you lose your mercenaries lul
a lot of mercenaries were highly elite
most mercenaries are
they where in my army
what do you think the third son of a lord does
his family buys him armour and a horse
and he becomes a mercenary
can't pay them if they dead is what i though
