what is the main reason for scouts?
well what does the name imply? ;)
they're pretty fast and can see further then normal units, you'll need them on pretty large maps, to scout the surrounding area and get information about your enemies army ;)

do they all ride fast dinos?
not only dinos, but yes

are they cheap?
pretty much

what if someone made a big army of scouts that quicky attack the enemy?
they are not that strong, their strongest part is the speed and sight

are u guys part of the team or people they hired as mods etc and told you the stuff?

look into my signature ;)

ok cool thanks.
lead 3d artist cool!
can scouts range attack?
what does that big name (sek) mean?

[Neox]

can scouts range attack?
the one of the distriders can spit venomous fluids

what does that big name (sek) mean?
Spiele Entwicklings Kombinat
which means something like game development combine

[Carnosaur]

cool name but why no gaps?

so dust riders can do hit and run tactics?

and OT is there gunna be tornes online?

what is the main reason for scouts?
In addition to the bits Neox mentioned, they also can come in handy combined with long-range units such as ankylosaur catapults. Some of them can shoot farther than they can see. And scouts - thanks to their good sights - will help extend the visual range, thus making the long-range unit more efficient.

can scouts range attack?
Only the Dustriders scout.

what does that big name (sek) mean?
Spieleentwicklingskombinat - which translates to something along the lines of Games Development Combine. Which somehow doesn't sound that exciting because certain pieces simply go lost in translation.

ok but what if the dust riders scout did hit and run attacks on non ranged units?
and cool name.
will you be making a stratigy guide when its out?

and are all titans dinos?

[Julian]

so dust riders can do hit and run tactics?
Sure, but it's not like the other faction can't. ;)
and OT is there gunna be tornes online?
I think I understand that question, but could you please rephrase it in a way that doesn't get 90% of the visitors puzzled?

[Carnosaur]

i thought only dust riders had a range attack?

oh ok sorry- is there going to be paraworld tornaments online?

and do you mods have a fav tribe or unit?

can't wait for this game.

i thought only dust riders had a range attack?

Sure, but you can also do hit'n run with melee units as long as they're fast enough. It's not like, ofr instance, the enemy's workers will be a tough target if he left the base unprotected for either type of military units. ;) Also, just wait for some more units to show up on the homepage.

oh ok sorry- is there going to be paraworld tornaments online?
Yes.

and do you mods have a fav tribe or unit?
I guess SEK employees prefer it if you refer to us as "devs" because that's what our primary job is. ;P

I like both, the Norsemen (because I'm usually a more defensive player) and the Dustriders (because they're very flexible due to the build-down options of their tents and the possibility to change some units' equipment on the fly.). Also: T-Rex!

kk devs. so are you at work now? i am not slowing you down am i?

my fav is properly your ones as well. but dusts scouts can shoot from a distance, thats good right?

[Julian]

kk devs. so are you at work now?
No, that would be a bit late. ;)
but dusts scouts can shoot from a distance, thats good right?
Yes, but it's not like they're a long-range unit such as catapults. Mid-range only.

[Carnosaur]

ok so this is your own time?

so is archers the only warroir to compeat with dinos? as they can shoot from high places and hide on dino back?
