The original purpose of the losses in scout was to keep your NW consistent. But, as the gain is capped and the losses aren't... 1 bil NW gone before I figured out why.
You're assuming the initial purpose. If scout gives heavy losses, don't use it. We don't want you to cheerfully get a billion land with no problems, just from Hawk Scout.
What explains what? I don't know how LP did it, but I got my land by having few resorces, and keeping most of my resorces in the treasury when I hawk scouted.
