Scouts can be used to both reduce your enemy's defensive units and bestow honor on them -reducing enemy units: Send out packs of scouts using the attack command (Scout bombing). Scout bombs will target specific types of troops in relation to their percentage of proportion of the enemy's other troop types. If gates are closed, Scout Bombs can be used to eliminate wall defenses. -bestowing honor: honor is not a good thing in the game. The higher your honor, the few troops you will be able to recover after combat. Players will often 'dump honor' by sending scout bombs against enemies. The scouts sent to attack are ment to die. Honor is taken from you, and given to the enemy. This decreases your enemy's effectivness in defense; as he/she can not heal as many troops as they would have had available to heal, had their honor been lower. Likewise, by dumping honor, you improve your ability to heal lost troops and thereby make yourself better able to attack and defend with least losses.

 * Example: scout bombs are generally used to clear archers. However if your enemy's archer to other troop type ratio favors the other troop types, your bombs will 'miss' the enemy archers and attack the other troop type of higher proportion. To illustrate, the ratio for archers to warriors is about 1:2.5.  So if your enemy has 100K archers and 300K warriors, your bombs will lear warriors, not archers, until the enemy troop ratio is brought below 1:2.5.  You will be using relatively more expensive scouts to clear warriors rather than archers, until the warrior count, goes down to about 250K
