Default Re: Very short question on assassination and spying

Those Spider Warriors (or whatever their exact name) are basically heavy infantry with the stealth ability. They are, according to their description, assassins-in-training, but they have not yet graduated

What you can do with them, besides using them as (rather expensive, but powerful) heavy infantry in your normal armies, is put a few (say, 20) of them under a stealthy leader, go behind enemy lines, then take a lightly defended province (attacking it in the usual way). Then sneak back out when the previous owner comes back, with his army, to evict you, and go take another. While you are at it, you can put taxes to 200%, pillage, destroy buildings, in short make a perfect nuisance of yourself Cutting off the retreat options of the enemy's main army just as you engage it is also an interesting possibility...

If the enemy has discovered magic sites in a province, then your sneaking scouts will report them in the province info display.
