how would you recommend making scouts different than spys? I think of scouts as getting a wider, faster lay of the land. Spys would be more specific info on the province they are in. Maybe scouts should be able to get some small bits of info from provinces next to the one they are in other than just whether or not there is a castle there.

In Doms I spys are just better scouts with a couple extra abilities (spot sites, instill uprising) and I'm happy with that. I have a few ideas on how to add flavour to the many scout variants - eg, a forester catched by enemy patrols in a forest province could retreat to an unowned neighboring province instead of dying - a Mother of Avalon or Dryad could attempt to trigger a Vine Ogre invasion (like the random event), etc. Funny things like that, although not necessary to the game.
