Scouting the pig

[Lord Mastermind]

Hello,

How many scouts you need to scout Pig castle? From all guides I'm reading their suggestion is 4+ while today I waste around 30 scouts in groups of 5 and wasn't able to scout one.

Regards!

Go big or stay home. Send 8 scouts or don't waste your time.

Omg....is that the smartest thing you could overthink? "Go big or stay home"? For a game? Ok, seems like you're big

Anyway, 6 scouts did the job, if someone really need that information.

There are multiple configurations of each type of AI castles. As such the quantity of scouts needed to obtain a report varies. You could chooses to send multiple scouting groups with less than 8 scouts, however this will cost you a) multiple scouts each mission and b) the time needed to send additional missions when the earlier ones fail.
There are 2 wolf castle layouts that will result in 0/8 scouts returning.

So, you can think you are smart and efficient for sending fewer than 8 scouts on a mission for a snake/pig/wolf castle. For me personally, my time at the keyboard is more valuable than sending 6 instead of 8 scouts on a mission.

Your choice. I was trying to provide feedback.
