That's only because you have not improved your own scout level by advancing the technology.
If you have the same scout level as your target, you will only see a few ambiguous lines saying stuff like "Hundreds of troops", etc for each of the combat units.
However, if you have scouting at least one level above your target (with the exception of oasis), then you will be able to see the exact number of troop, including if 0, exact amount of each resource stored in his warehouse, exact level of skills, and exact number of hard-points spent on attributes. The only two things you may never see through scouting reports are the target's technology levels, or stat bonuses for equipment used.
