Never encountered either.

>What are people thoughts on the value of the Scout for Characters command?
?Is it better/worse than Scout Hex?

I use the Scout for Characters command when there is an agent stealing gold in
a population center, and the center isn't reporting any foreign characters
in the hex.  I have also used it when I had a company of emissaries and
agents enter an enemy population center.  I wanted to make sure there were
no enemy characters there to personal challenge or assassinate my characters.
According to the description of Scout Hex, the only characters that might be
identified in the hex are those that are army commanders.

>army combats?

Tactic vs. tactic modifiers affect each of the participating armies' strengths.
GSI doesn't list the range of this modifier, but I would guess it is similar to
the terrain modifier, probably between 80 and 120.

>How much is your loyalty affected if you change your tax rate by 5%? 10%?? 20%???

I am playing Southern Gondor in game#78 (USA), and I have only changed my tax
rate once.  My loyalties went down an average of 7 by increasing the tax rate
from 40% to 52%, and the attempt was to get it up to 56%.

Hope all this is helpful.
