Default Re: Spies and unrest

I have used the bards +30 stealth of MA Man very, very effectively in MP. I assemble a squad of 5-6 and move them next to a castle/production centre I want to close down permantly. If there are no large forces patrolling, I move them in and start raising that unrest to over 100. I like to support them with hurricane, blight, locusts and raging hearts to speed the process up/give my bards a head start.

Unrest helps bards/spies avoid detection, so when it tops 100+ I have found a enemy nation has really no chance of getting it below 100 or discovering your spies.

Its a powerful tactic. You are attacking a enemies production, income and limiting his available cash.
