yo tengo el STABLE!!!!... ARGGHH... fucking have to research scouts.. what a pain in the fucking ass....

I want to build like 2 scouts (i don't think anyone else in my area has them), a solid defense, and slightly upgrade my raiding force. I think i need to really ramp up the resources production as well. I can't seem to build jack squat and don't have any really good farms... there are two towns nearby that just lost their alliance affiliation. I would like to scout and farm them today. (one is 58, other is 69)...

What the fuck are "traps" that the Gauls use and should I worry about them?
