At the end of the day the difference between going north and south is minimal, and I wouldn't object either way. But in the case of an early scout death I would rather have the north intelligence personally.
BTW; when do animals start despawning again?
Well, the tech picture is even more complicated, but I'm liking the complexities.

Deer, which means AH, and is "only" a 4/2 tile. That is a lot of hills though. Possible HE site? Scouting path is slightly more awkward though.

The tile 2N of the deer looks to be a hill to me.

But the tiles east and west of that tile look to be flatland.

I think the scout path needs to be 2 moving between hills until T10, when animals start spawning (and barb warriors start spawning T25).
I think the path is NW, evaluate if the tile 2N of the deer is definitely a hill, and if it is, NW, then SE-E, and SE-SW to end up on the plains hill that is current E-SE of the scout on T5. If the suspected hill tile is instead flatland, might want to take a wide route and go NW-N?
