Interesting Campaign Map AI 'thinking'

When I clicked on him it said he was bribing and army, I assumed it was the YS.

That only tells you that the mission for that emissary is bribing. It could be one of yours but more than likely it's a rebel army. I've followed such missions before and they almost invariably end up in rebel territory.

The AI will often spy on you, I'm just not sure how effective they are.

I tolerate an ally's emissary......for awhile. I tolerate a neutral's or an enemy emissary not at all....they quickly become dead. If another bordering clan has a watchtower, then the emissary isn't telling him anything he doesn't already "know".....I say "know" because the AI has to KNOW where every thing is

There were no rebel armies nearby, though he could have been going to bribe someone out west after I clicked end turn. I didn't follow him there so I don't know. I just thought it might have been neat however, because once Useugi is gone, Imagawa (who was the bribing emassary), is the next target!
