i really didn't think on that .

No problem. Glad to help. BTW, at 20gp each, indy scouts are dirt-cheap.

yeah just like the "national ones" most nations have .
but expect indep mages i haven't recruited any indep troops so far lol . just found them bad return for my money ^^.
but for such cases like indep scouts as stocks they are great .
thnx again for opening up my mind there .
i wouldn't have come to that idea myself .
i really kinda didn't see the wood for the trees here

thought on summoning black servants for that while the scouts are the much cheaper + simpler solution .
i castle everything anyway quite soon as abysia so i could recruit even 10 scouts / turn in midgame if i would want to ^^.

You do NOT need a castle to recruit indy scouts.

hehe yeah right .
but to protect them i need one

i really lack expierience with indep troops / cheap leaders .
i never used any of them expect mages and really rarely priests .

just curious now :
can you tell me a nation for which indep troops are good ? i always play with watchtower as castle and those races with which a watchtower seems like a bad choice ( e.g. standard ulm ) i somehow don't like and almost not play .
but expect perhaps some ultra rare sites like the ones where you can recruit trolls the indep troops seem to me just extremely inferior to almost all national troops . same with non-mage leaders ( expect now the scout too ).

always like the choice between a leopard 2 and a t 54

You can just move them to a castled province.

yeah but i love to castle . although i am still a newbie i think i will never change my mind and always stay a fan of castling in dom 2 unless they change something severely in a new patch which i don't hope that it happens

unless it is like reducing build time for watchtower to 1 turn or adding castle walls to the watchtower

btw is there any very fast and easy way where you need no programming knowledge but simple a small program with which you can find such hardcoded things even as a novice like me in short time ?

Heh, no.

Castles do not protect against horror attacks, which work as assassinations. Also, while it's nice to have castles to protect your guys, scouts are the unit that don't need it, since it is impossible to harm them while they are hiding anyway.
