could train scouts be feasible?

From tc at 100 food (or maybe 75f each on Norse) with a unit cap of 1 (or 1 of each) might be cool for Non champion mode (stables doesn't really work cause Norse scouts aren't mounted, and which building would it go in for Romans?). It'd be a pretty radical change for champion mode scouting really cause then you can have the scout all game long after having thrown him away to scout really deep midgame, rather than having to keep the scout alive (and make use of regeneration), or lock up more resources and population sending cavalry in to do the scout's job cause he ded. Granted, I'm not the only pvper, so I'm interested to see what the others think.
