Before I move the scout I can see your argument - animals start appearing t5 so from then onwards the scout is at risk. I've made a guess at scouting pattern after t5 and it looks like going direct can get us the most important info (about our second city) by t12 while going via the cows would be more like t15. I slightly favour the latter, but I can see the point of the former, once we've got the city info we can take more risks. I'll think about it a bit more and move in about 20 mins, so if you feel strongly let me know.
BTW - I think selecting mining on t4 would be wise.
