If you take a stealthy commander with either 2 air, 3 astral, or 4? death, and have them cast aerial trapeze, teleport or stygian paths, will they cause a battle if they land in an enemy province?

But I've guessed wrong before ...

yes.
they landed and turn themself to "defend"--not "hide", it's cause a battle.
(Stealthy hunters blood hunt in enemy province---by the bug---bring the same result too.)

I found out the hard way. Forged me the Gate Stone and made a really nice assassin with him -- but didnt work quite as planned. Discovered as soon as he teleported (no you fool! dont attack the entire province!!) and then my enemy got all his amazing über-gear too...)

Love stealth, but the game mechanics don't love it as much as I do.
