If your army bumps into an agent, including hidden agents, they will be revealed automatically, so try moving something within 2 squares distance of your settlement or further. You can do that with an agent too (priests come to mind). You can also create roadblocks, by having one unit armies standing along your borders. Prevents any agents from entering unless it is by boat.

Some questions:

1. According to rules reloading is not allowed. However, can I load the game and move my army to scan for "anything suspicious"?

2. Can watchtower detect agents hidden in forest? If I remember correctly, there's forest north of Danish settlement (Arhus), maybe...

Answers :

1 - Nope. Unless you wish to cheat... Up to you...

2 - I think they can... Agents do not go into hiding in the same way as armies

Watchtowers cannot detect anything.

I'd like FactionHeir and/or Ramses to be the one who answer (first question)...not the one I have most suspicion

For point 1, I would be inclined to agree with Tristan that it is not allowed, as the findings could be carried forward to the future and give an unfair advantage. Since your turn is before Tristan can act again though, you should have ample opportunity to scour the landscape.

Thank you. I accept it

My suspicion toward

remain, however

Yeah, if you allow reloading to 'scan' the area it'll change the way the game is played IMHO. Just think about 'scanning' with a cavalry crusade army. You could see half of Europe, and it'd probably take you an extra hour+ time with the save. Better to take your chances. But, of course, if you look at your movement rates carefully it's pretty easy to send out a militia garrison company to 'scan' and bring it back into the city, allowing you a good zone of control around your cities.
