In the Definitive Edition, Tracking is removed from the game, and its effects now apply to all civilizations for free upon reaching the Feudal Age.
The following table shows the amount of tiles uncovered per minute (assuming no known tiles are scouted more than once, formula = 130 * speed * LOS radius):[1]
| Unit | Dark Age | Feudal Age |
|---|---|---|
| Scout Cavalry | 648 | 1209 |
| Mongol Scout Cavalry | 936 | 1581 |
| Eagle Scout (up to Rise of the Rajas) | 858 | 1122 |
| Eagle Scout (in the Definitive Edition) | 726 | 1122 |

History Edit
"As the Dark Ages passed and barbarian clans became trained armies, military techniques improved. The new armies were better prepared for campaigning and maneuver. One result of these improvements was being less susceptible to surprise and ambush."
