Scouting with Orc...

So, um, anyways when is it usually done and doesn't it delay the tech and stuff? Is it worth it scouting on Lost Temple or Gnoll Wood?|||Obviously, when you're gonna rush or harass, you should scout to know where the enemy is and not waste time running around, and if you're creeping, you should scout to see what the enemy's up to (fast expanding or teching, you want to go and kill him or expand yourself; getting dual AoW hunts, you want to get defences up; etc), so as those are basically your three starting options, you should always scout.

When and with what you scout depends on matchup, map, etc. Obviously the easiest thing to do is to have a scouting worker in your build order, using the one that built the altar is most common I think, and it works well for me as NE. I'm not quite sure about when to scout with Orcs, but I highly recommend that you do.

If you really don't want to send a peon (which doesn't delay your tech more than a few seconds), you can use wolves if you're going FS, mirror images from an item you found early, a grunt when you have 2-3 for creeping (just be careful not to lose it, especially vs entangle and frost towers), and so on and so forth.

But honestly, do scout in one way or another. Imagine you're playing vs human on Gnoll Wood and find the lightning shield item, but don't know where the humans base is. If it's right next to yours but you start of in the wrong direction, he'll be well into t2 by the time you're there and imba LS will be almost useless. So yes. You SHOULD scout.|||against hu u mos def wanna scout as early as possible on lost temple, other than that u can use wolves if u have an fs(use the low health from the green camp u just creeped) if not fs u really have to scout with the altar peon.|||Its not that easy to scout with orc yeah but if you dont wanna scout with fs wolves, just send peon that finishes altar, or at latest send one after you finish 2nd burrow.

For fs wolves its easy. Just send wolves in opposite directions and rally to fs, etc.
