Odd colonial soldier count?

[Lord Shadow]

Pic!

Don't know why I'm getting that count. It's true I have a single cannon, but I don't have two militia soldiers! The only soldier I have is a veteran one, the one I started with, which is working as a farmer (hence the 50 muskets available and the fact he's not being counted) in one of my settlements.

 

[Lord Shadow]

Oh, wait. Seasoned Scouts might count as militia, I guess.

I've two of them exploring around the continent.

 

[glee]

Yes, that was true for me too - Scouts count as Soldiers.
