I'm having to scout 24 or 25 provinces per expansion at the moment. Would it be possible of introducing a way of gaining 2 scouts that can work on separate provinces at the same time in the same way we have 5 builders?
In the grand scheme of things scouting provinces for expansions is fairly short lived as you only get a certain number of them. Whilst getting them at twice the speed may be a little better for the player, it would be twice as soon before you don't get any more.
