If your unit has the ability to auto Scout you will see a Compass logo on the button in their command window.

Note that only your initial scout unit has this option. Any unit you train afterward will not have the auto scout option, even if you have already lost the initial one.

if the map is already explored, the auto scout function wont turn on.

on a side note, you should try to avoid auto scouting. If you are new to the game use it, but ultimately u want to have it off if u want to improve.

Yep. It's much better to hold shift and rightclick your scout around your town center to find boars and resources rather than relying on auto-scout. You can queue up a whole bunch of locations for it to go to and adjust accordingly to your needs.

Yup, this.

@OP: Set waypoints with your scout in a circle-like shape going away from the starting point and try to find all the extra sheep (2x2 = 4, asuming it's Arabia), both boars, berries, gold and stone :)

The opponent's TC is in an "orbit" with your TC, so just let your scout ride a big arc around the map once you found everything at home to scout your opponent.

Does someone know what the maximum of shift-queue is ? :D

I don't think it's a limit you'll ever reach in DE. If I recall, SOTL tested it out in one of videos to see if there was still a limit as there was in the previous versions, and he found that at a certain point it stops showing the flags for new orders issued but it still properly tracks all the orders.

Afaik the sole limit was 8 or 9 flags for patrol
