Sometimes those damn assasins...

[MiniKiller]

These guard towers or whatever they are called built up twice seem to have no affect on anything. All of a suden sometimes 5 generals will die or just evade death and its sort of, actually its really annoying.

If your playing MTW with VI, then Border Forts are a lot better (to counter for having the ability to produce upgraded spies and assassins)

My tip is to use your own spies and assassins internally to catch these guys if the forts miss them... but even so you will always get a few enemies slip the net.

Yeah, make sure you have a few of your own hanging around. It is a bit much though; 5 generals in 1 turn... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif hurts

Does it matter if I use spys or assasins? Is anyone better and weeding out potential assasination attempts?

Spies also help your internal loyalty, so they are probably best used for catching your enemies in recently conquered provinces. But given that assassins and spies gain valor for killing enemy assassins in your own provinces, I sugguest to use Assassins, that way they can slowly get higher valor and you'd soon have a few good killers ready to use. (and assassins can be trained at 3 stars, when spies can only be trained at 2 stars with all building upgrades)

Assassins get my vote, but you will need spies around for other things.

In VI spies with valour of 1 or more are way to good. They increase loyalty in a province with more than 50%. They are, as said, to good.
