Good God, that sounds like a horrendous idea. Do you want to make everyone run screaming from the General position? :P

It's hard enough for players to properly evaluate relative strengths of armies, what with factors like army composition, movement rate, siege engines, etc. Removing CS from scout reports wouldn't just make it impossible for Generals to asses enemy armies, it would make it impossible to assess their own! And seeing SF as Infantry just doesn't make sense. You might as well say that Archers should look like Infantry; after all, when they're lounging around the camp, you can't tell if they fight with a bow or a sword.

No. I do not think this would help in any way, shape, or form.

Uncertainty can be added by other means, if we really feel that it's necessary. Crippling (or removing, since this would make people scout a lot less) the one tool people have for knowing what's going on around them is not the way to do that.

I think adding uncertainty is definitely a plus. Something like infantry units not being as effective as they are in a certain terrain. Infantry is just too good at the moment while archers are somewhat unreliable.
