I am quite ceratain that new geologists requires hammers, it's just that you usually don't need to make more than a handful, same with diggers (shovel) & builders (hammer).

As for scouts, I am not certain, spears would be a possibility but I doubt it...

You need the hat and cape for the scout, hammers for the geologists. And they don't respawn: they go back to base once they are done. Scouts can be killed by ennemy soldiers if you send them in ennemy territory, though.

hum, there is no such thing as a 'hat and cape' in settlers 2....
And scouts cannot be killed... not according to what I've seen.

Perhaps you are thinking about settlers 3...

Nope... I'm definitly talking about Settlers 2.

Maybe the "hat and cape" icon is their job icon, but they definitly use some kind of tools when you want to create some. And they definitly can be killed, though it's extremely rare that a soldier will catch them.

Okay... I gotta see that.

EDIT:
Just checked that up, scouts indeed needs bows, same as hunters (and the scouts' symbol is a racoon hat).

Haven't managed to get my scouts killed yet though, takes good planning to pull that off i think

I never had scouts killed by soldiers either

I once build a hunter's hut near the border in one of the mountain maps. Bad decission, as I steadily started to lose hunters :P - The hunter would constantly die of starvation after he'd crossed the mountains and tried to get back from the other side of the map (which would mean he'd wonder around randomly).
Would that count as good planning?

[Eagle of Fire]

Well, maybe my scout who died bad lucked his time and jumped in the middle of an assault... But I clearly remember seeing it happenning. :P

Yes, the noob (me) is back!

Question: Is there a manual for this game? It would be great if there was.

Edit: I just bought the game CD (not packaged in a box). So, no text manual.

[Matt Samyel]

i don't know, but we can do our one

Correct me if i'm wrong but i settlers 2 gold not free to download? Why is the site still telling it's esa protected?

Anyway it's a super game, als like the settlers 2 ten year anniversary. Pretty much the same game only better graphics.
