Eagle Scout
Fast infantry scout for Mesoamerican civilizations. Replaces Scout Cavalry, providing early mobility and raiding capability without horses.
Tactical Briefing
The Eagle Scout is your early game mobility as Aztecs, Mayans, or Incas. With no horses, these fast infantry units scout the map and harass villagers. In Feudal, they can raid under TC fire briefly thanks to good speed. They upgrade to the powerful Eagle Warrior in Castle Age. Classes: Infantry, Eagle Warrior.

Strategic Analysis
The Eagle Scout is the Mesoamerican answer to Scout Cavalry. While not as strong early, they have the **massive advantage** of becoming Eagles, which are far superior to Light Cavalry later.
- Early Scouting: Use your starting Eagle Scout just like a Scout Cavalry. Find sheep, boar, and opponent's base. Their 6 LoS is decent.
- Villager Harassment: In late Dark/early Feudal, send Eagle Scouts to enemy gold or berries. Force garrison or idle time.
- Castle Age Power Spike: Save your Eagle Scouts. Once you hit Castle Age and upgrade to Eagle Warriors, they become a dominant force.
Warning: Extremely weak to **Men-at-Arms** and **Archers** in early game. Don't commit Eagle Scouts to fights you can't win.
