Native Scout

A Native Scout is a unit in Age of Empires III. The French civilization starts out with one at the start of the game. Scout can be rescued as Treasures, or sent from the Trading Post. The Scout can move very fast, and has an extensive Line of Sight, however, they cannot attack with any effect. In the Warchiefs expansion pack, the Native Scout is given the ability to use stealth, which makes it invisible from enemy units and buildings, but at a cost of speed. If the scout gets to close to an enemy unit or building while using the stealth ability, it will become visible and attackable again.

The language spoken by the scout is the same as the Nootka, regardless of whatever random tribe name he is given.
