Assassins in Crusades...the funniest thing ever

For those who want to play crusades i want to tell you just this....assassins are like mega-uber overpowered:shame: ....you get from a fresh out of the slums assassin 95% chance to kill any merchant; diplomat; or priest:2thumbsup: :2thumbsup: :2thumbsup: :2thumbsup: ..... i took out the mongols(i have to be frank with this with about 20 assassins) in one turn :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

They should be repaired....but there is always the fun part of not letting your opponent convert your population to his religion...or those pesky thiefs and assassins.

I found that assasins are under powered in Vanilla

but in LTC mod, they are the best... they really have a good chance of killing just about anyone in your provinces.
which is good because in Vanilla i found that they didn't have much worth other than killing diplomats who try to bribe ur officials

This also seems to be the case in BC. You can kill a 10exp Merchant or diplomat with a 0exp assassin piece of cake. It seems to be a little different with generals though, but not a lot.

Aside from enemy merchants (which there is always plenty), I havent used my assassins to kill Generals in my KoJ campaign. I do this mainly to keep battles challenging and hopefully making my AAR a little more interesting to read. (all I got to do is get motivated and post an update, which i have plenty of.)

Experience for merchants, princesses, priests, imams, and diplomats doesn't affect the chance but ancillaries or perhaps "paranoia" traits do.

I always thought it had, I'm sure I've noticed differences in the % of success when targeting enemy agents depending on their stats.

There's a personal security attribute so, yes, some traits increase your chance of survival.
