i fink dat u should be able 2 kill scientists wen u attack an enemy! it would mean dat there is sum1 to kill if sum1 has no soldiers in and not many guards. They should also be able to defend themselfs.
Wen u hack database u should also be able to see how many scientists they have!
if you want to know how many scientists someone has you could do two successive SoM's and then do some math to figure out the military science boost and then recalculate on the next game day change the difference and then do more math. and then it would give you the points increase in one gd which would give you the amount of scientists. I am presently lazy so i wont tell you the math part of it but im sure someone will eventually.

That wont give you accurate result...you need 3 successive SoM. why? what if he runs out of Tech? and only shows half of military science boost.

Do a database hack and a spy on military of your target. Calculate their networth from those and then look at their networth in the regions list. The difference tells you how many scientists they have.
Yeah (I know Odin doesn't need it, but if anyone else wants a reference I posted it all in here: http://www.zaraz.com/phorum/read-17-111-111.html)
If I were going to calculate for scientists, I would wait until I've seen the person on at least 24 game days since they got their most recent acres (or less if I were pretty sure they had science) to just assume that all acres are built on to calculate networth.
