Stealthy preacher question

Whismerhill · #1 November 24th, 2003, 09:02 PM

from tips while generating turn :
"If you want a stealth unit raising dominion,
either have your pretender god or prophet stealthy"

that's not the exact words but the idea is there

Thanks for the replies. Appreciated.

I have noticed that in game tip about making a stealthy prophet, but so far I have ignored it, because I thought that the risk of losing the prophet was far too great, and because I didn't really consider that the prophet will spread dominion, even if he is not preaching. Right now I am thinking about making one of those (+30) stealth chars into a prophet. Anyone know if there are any unit with stealth higher than that in the game?

I should compile a list of all stealthy units and their exact stealth.

Imagine a race with most units having either glamour or stealth. Fighting against that could be tricky. And playing that race could be fun.

Hehe, it's called Vanheim. OK, not most units, but their most powerful (and sacred) units, and most of their commanders, and one of their pretenders, have stealth + glamour + free Mirror Image every battle.

Pangaea has a lot of stealth too (but not glamour AFAIK).

And the Last Tuatha Theme of Man, which is almost a clone of Vanheim with Nature and Air magic.

Yep. But only stealth +0, and there seems to be a very big difference between that and stealth +30. In a test game, I send a stealth +30 Bard to the capital of Vanheim, with orders to cause unrest. He has been there a *long* time. It seems a substantial advantage to the nations with spies/assassins.
