Scouting with Owl Clan

[KitsuNoshi]

It says that norns can scout enemy territory once you reach 200 fame but it doesn't work for me, is this a bug or am I missing something?

I believe you also need upgraded town-hall

When it was released u needed just 200 fame, they changed it in some past patch, so u now need 200 and up main.

I feel that 3 norms are not enough. I often spend all of them on lore stones because owl needs tons of lore. Year 503 and I only explore 6-7 tiles (solo). It's also hard to buy more tiles since owl only havest wheat (once I ended up with no food tile nearby). Woodcutter is not available so it saved 3-4 villagers to scavenge for food, still food is low compared to other clans. Maybe norms are cap at 3 because multiplayer games need balance?

Norns are capped at 3 for historic reasons. But I think devs balanced around them with this limitation in mind.

3 scouts which are better than Raven "Rangers" (they don't eat food like Raven Rangers, but also they do not count against unit cap) - this seems like more than any of the other clans typically field (2 from one scout camp... who builds more than 1 scout camp?)

As far as food, you know you can build one of your 1st wisdom twigs that generates +1 wheat field on any tile... so you are sort of guaranteed 1 wheat tile at some point. Not great, but sometimes you only get one food tile and it is not your type anyway (looking at Bear not getting a fish tile)

Owl can only have 3 scouts but from the start of the game which make the best clan to get middle 50 fame 99% of the time.
who builds more than 1 scout camp? Eagle does to get his caches and close den.
Owl depends a lot of lore Nornes can get on the map and some maps have few or even 0 lorestone (expect the one next to main tile). So it make your scaling way slower.
1 wheat field is enough for the start but late you will need 2nd (500 fame).
Looking at Bear not getting a fish tile -> Bear always have a fish tile !
