Bannerlord Cunning Perks: Scouting¶

The Scouting perk tree allows you to focus on enhancing your experience of the campaign map. You can choose to specialise in increased movement speed during the day or night, significantly lower food consumption and increase movement speed in forests, deserts, hills, and marshes. All other perks are accessible without having to choose between two mutually exclusive perks. These include providing you with more tracking information, increased enemy spotting range, and general movement speed. In addition you can slightly increase your hit points from one of the later perks, though this is fairly negligible unless you’re attempting to create the toughest possible build.
