How reliable are scout reports?

The easiest answer to this question is to re-read his response. The answer is the same, with absolutely no qualifiers. You can never, under any circumstances, see units with glamour. It does not matter one bit whether they are hiding, sneaking, defending, patrolling, or any other order. They are completely invisible on the strategic map. Stealthy units that are hiding in friendly provinces are just as invisible.

Interesting. So commander with glamour AND with stealth, such as Van, can build castle, search, preach, do whatever he wants without being observed by the enemy. Effectively castles will pop out of nowhere as far as your opponent concerned (unlike when you are building castle with scout, who becomes visible while he is performing "build" command.)

It's good to know, thanks.
