I have a suggestion for a small change regarding the scouts in the game. I hope this is the right place to post about this.
we know that scouts’ speed is 1.62, which is great.
However I think that this speed should be altered in such way that the more sheep the scout carries the slower it becomes (for example -0.1 speed per sheep with minimum of 0.7).
Not only that this makes the game more logical since the scout is guiding more sheep, but it also creates a great way to balance sheep counts among players by forcing the player with more sheep to return home to drop the sheep, or make a new scout, which opens a whole new game play in the beginning.
I think the change can be implimented very easily (?) and is a good change.
