I got sick of being at war and the stupid game would notify me of which settlement an enemy was off to besiege. I mean this is highly secretive information only army commanders would know. Sure soldiers marching would have a general idea of where they are going but only an actual commander would know. They are constantly reacting to the situation and changing movements... long story short... you shouldn't be allowed to see what the enemy is doing. I figured this information should be hard to come by but not impossible. So if your party has an effective scouting skill of at least 150 (change in MCM) then this information will be revealed to you. That's about it. It is just a patch for the function that generates the string text on party info panels. I replaced the text with their alerted status instead.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight focus on scouting realism—does exactly what it says.
- Active development with a recent update (March 2025).
- Decent traction with 101 endorsements and over 28k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Very niche—only affects scouting info, so impact is limited.
- Small mod with a narrow audience; may not suit players who prefer arcade-style tracking.
This is for hardcore realism fans who want to rely on actual scouting skills instead of free intel. If you're a roleplayer or someone who enjoys tactical depth, this adds a layer of challenge. Casual players might find it frustrating.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your party's scouting skill is above 100 before expecting to see enemy movements.
- Pair this with other realism mods to enhance the overall experience.
- If you're new to the game, consider waiting until you understand scouting mechanics before installing.
