Well I'll be buggered with a tire iron - you're right, castle academia allows training both spies and assassins. I never realized that :/
But ... hmm... OK, I got it : that doesn't count because the Assassin Guild is city only, and only 4 factions have access to castle academia anyway. So there ! :clown:
Re: Ancillary: DREAD Knight !
It sooooooo counts, and I blame you for it.

Re: Ancillary: DREAD Knight !
erm i'm having a bit of trouble transfering the horse.
matbe the way im doing it is wrong so i'll explain
both spy and general ae in same cityi open the spys information and drag the horse onto the generals portrait
this doesnt work so am doing something wrong or is ancilliary ransfers between generals and spy not allowed?
and what is HoMM??
Re: Ancillary: DREAD Knight !
Maybe only transfers to other agents ? I must say I never tried transferring ancils myself. It was lame-ish back in RTW anyway.
And HoMM is Heroes of Might & Magic, one of the Great Elders in my personnal pantheon. Pangameon. Whatever.
Re: Ancillary: DREAD Knight !
Unfortunately, you can only transfer to another agent. From spy to spy, from assassin to assassin. Not even spy <-> assassin works :(
Re: Ancillary: DREAD Knight !
right cheers guys
kobal i agree the rtw system was abit lame so easy to maintain good generals it was the ancil that were imporatant not the general. i'm glad its been reduced.
even with this limited system we could keep this horse alive forever i suppose lol
isnt HoMM a RTS? i think i got it with my grphics card or something, still in packing though. should i try it?

HoMM is so-called card-RPG game , and its a classic game of this genre. Most actual are HoMM 4 and 5. " Eatherlords" and " Eatherlords 2 " are even better example of this stile. Both where made in Russia, and remaining best Russian games of all times.

Nope! Heroes of Might and Magic is a really good turn based strategy game, with quite a large following. It often gets confused with the similarly named Might and Magic which I think did have some real-time elements to it but doesn't seem as popular.
Its doubly confusing because both games are now owned by UBI soft and the two titles now frequently share the same websites.
Re: Ancillary: DREAD Knight !
it's a turn based fantasy strategy game with turn based battles, and RPG elements as well because your "heroes" (read : generals) gain XP, get specific skills and capacities and magic items and so on which gives them strengths in this field or that.
The graphics are a bit dated but still pleasing to the eye, and the sheer mass of maps and scenarios coupled with the diversity of the different "factions" and the number of winning strategies you can devellop give it a really, really long life.
OK, so I'm hooked on it worse than I was on the first Civ game. So sue me :)
