what you need to have in mind, is that in meso war you lure the boar not with vill, but with eagle :D
always go search for enemy boar and steal or take one of your boars very early in azt war... players need to adapt :D
You can steal boars with your scout as well, it's not that much harder.
11, i know, actually you don't even need skill to steal a boar alone, you don't even need to keep seeing it, long time i no play aoc, so i don't remember the name of the button, but it's the flags, the shift... you can steal boar without keeping seeing it and just care about your eco
Its very hard to set waypoints in a way so your scout neither outruns or get eaten by a pig. Its easier to just check it every 3 sec :P
