Assassin troubles (MTW)

[Hajji Giray I]

I have owned MTW for about...let's see...seventeen hours, and already my assassins are getting suicidal. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif:D:D

I assigned one to kill a bishop in Cairo (me=Egypt) with success chance of 66%. I never heard about the attempt for some reason--until I received a message saying my assassin had been captured and killed in Moldavia

WOEIGO? (What on Eearth Is Going on?)

[Dîn-Heru]

The assassins target movd to Moldovia, and your assassin followed him, like he is supposed to do. But there probably was a border fort or enemy agents in Moldovia that caught him before he could eliminate his target.

I think that in a future Total War game we should have the ability to set an agents operational area, so that they can attempt to intercept the enemy inside your territory but give up unless we specify otherwise.

or organise assassins so they automatically intercept and attempt to assassinate enemy emissarries and other agents.

I think you are on to a really good idea. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Cheers mate http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif
I am just so annoyed at wandering assassins going abroad without permission and getting themselves killed... Surely we should be able to revoke their travel expenses or something http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Still I do think we should have more control over agents in future. (as well as more diplomacy options)
