It would be a dramatically different game than spawning next to Teddy and Peter. Variety = good to my mind.
His point was you would die if they gained free units right at the start.
[R&F] Cree’s UU very underwhelming?

- Start date

I think its amazing, at least on higher difficulties. Remainds me of the civ 5 pocatellos unique scouts, slightly worse perhaps.
They influence the game early on and building more then one does not hamper you the same way as building multiple scouts does, since they are usufull for a while. They are also better at scouting since they get the early promotion and as previously stated they can hunt down bard scouts and are key if you get unlucky barb out of control spawns. On higher difficulties it is common for the barb scout to make it back to camp since the scout usually finds your capital before even your first unit is out.
Then there is the amazing uppgrade tree compared to the regular scout, if there is iron of course but you would only require 1 iron source. The uppgrade tree alone makes it worth it in my opinion since it would mean i can be safe early and mid game without having to build more then a couple of UU and slingers, then uppgrade them when needed.
