Can someone explain to me how scouts attack/defend? What I mean by this is a guy sent 2 scouts at me with other troops but 13 of my scouts died and I have sent 20 scouts at a city before and none of his died this does not make since can someone explain?

Thanks

To kill defending scouts, you require troops other than scouts or war machines. Scouts have a defence values that will add into the defence points pool when attacked. To kill attacking scouts, you need your own scouts too. Only defending scouts can kill attacking ones. How it is calculated I'm not too sure.

Maybe I'm not reading it correctly but I have attacked a player with nothing but scouts before and killed some of his

Wut. Attacking scouts don't kill defending ones.... Only defending scouts kill attacking ones....

On rare occasion, when all the planets line up and Ares is looking with favor on the moon of Neptune, attacking scouts will kill defending ones. Basically if I have a huge number of scouts, morale is 100, luck is +23 or +24 or +25 or another high number, and they have a tiny amount of scouts, I will kill minimal scouts. Like 2 or 3. At least, that's what's happened to me before.

Actually when you attack a city with scouts only
The defending city will kill your scouts,if they have some there(depends on how many you send or how many he has)
But when you attack city with some scouts and other troops,other troops will definitely try to kill evry type of troops including the scouts(that is why your 13 scouts died)

How do I use scouts to spy on other cities?

Just command some scouts in an attack,they will bring back information for you.

Last time I did that he died.

You have to send enough scouts that they'll return. So for a city with 10 scouts in it, I'd send at least 11. Send enough that you'll know that some will come back. Like in my two big worlds, I have about 600 in each
