    Default Any point to assassinating captains?

    This is something I've been wondering, is there any point to assassinating captains?
    Beside the trait increases for your assassin.

    As far as I can tell, no units disappear when you successfully assassinate a captain. Not even single soldiers.

    Just experience for your assassin, nothing more.

    If the old games are anything to go by, assassinating the captain should cause a morale penalty. I am not sure if this was implemented in M2:TW, though.

    It definitely should be though. I'd definitely desert if my captains kept dying of mysterious causes...

    That's not a good thing if it means your throat will be slit by assassins.

    Yep, this.
