    Default Disappearing agents

    Playing as Maratha I've been having my Thugee's disappear. Not assassinated, not caught spying or sabotaging either. No message to report any mishap is received. I believe it happens when I used them to infiltrate an enemy army, Mughals, before I attack. If I wipe out the enemy army apparently my Thugee perishes also. Anyone else notice this?

    Do they still appear on the units list? I once had a Cherokee army go... missing somehow. With my rake. I checked the unit list and found my agent sitting inside an invisible army. I was able to move him, thankfully.
    Due to the ailing economy, this space has been foreclosed.

    So far, every rake I've had in a city that fell was killed in the fight. However, I did get the message after the battle. Twice it was my infiltrator who died when I captured the city, once I had infiltrated a neutral city that was attacked by and fell to a third party in the following turn. In all three cases I lost my agent.

    Now, I haven't yet had a KGB agent (Gentleman stealing tech) in a school that got raided, so I don't know what happens there.

    There are divinely some strange things going on with Rakes.

    I know when I had one join an army I was unable to move him away for several turns. The army moved into the capital city and the Rake kept being detected. I could also see the enemy Rake in the agents of the city, but I couldn’t move my man for about three or four turns. Then it finally let him move…I don’t know what it was…maybe his enlistment wasn’t up yet…

    I have moved rakes onto enemy stacks and then attacked them, everytime the rake has vanished with no messages.

    Very strange.

    I also have had my rakes go into a town on a sabbing mission and succeed (hoorrah). However I have not been able to move him afterwards. He was stuck until he was detected and killed.

    I have also had my rake disappearing when I destroyed an army he had infiltrated. I recieved no messages... Stupid bug really

    Agents seem to often get stuck for a turn in any city they have entered for a full turn.

    It once seemed as if a scholar disappeared when I wanted to move him from a ship to a port. He was neigher in the ship nor in the port afterwards (I don't remember if I checked the list)
    The next turn I send the ship out of the port - and he was on the ship again

    Same here : a rake infiltrating a Huron army vanished without a trace when said army got roflpwnd by my brave soldiers and their shiny new bayonets.
    Anything wrong ? Blame it on me. I'm the French.
