[QUOTE="randomling, post: 1523901, member: 8432"] My 12th level rogue has just picked up Leadership, and along with her ranger cohort she is negotiating taking over her liege's scout force. There are about 20 scouts available, mostly rangers, rogues, and ranger/rogues, running from 1st to 8th level. Ultimately, I want to create an unrivalled, international intelligence-gathering and scouting network: in theory I'll go from providing intelligence to my liege to being the one person in the world that most world leaders know of to go to for reliable and accurate intelligence. :) However, this is my first serious attempt at making real changes in the game-world, and I'm not very experienced at high-level play. So I'm not sure how best to organize the scout force, etc. As I understand it, these 20 scouts are currently focusing the majority of their attention on one region which presents a number of potential threats. On the other hand I wonder if they could be more use investigating the invading force who are coming at us from the west in the next few months (and if so how they'd gather intelligence on that without me losing my scout force). I'm also trying to make political allegiances with other armies' scout forces across the world in the hopes of uniting various allied and semi-allied intelligence gathering forces under my control. :D I'd appreciate some ideas about how to put things together, though!
