Why are AI Hashishin visible to me?

[aleh]

Hehe, I was faced with entire stacks of ballistas and Hashishins during Turkish rebellions, they aren't /that/ hard to beat.

[Ludens]

Off course, generals can never hide, even if they are Hashishin, so if they were the general's unit...

But then Hashishin are 'discouraged' to be the general's unit, so this is probably not the case.

Mother, to her Hashishin son "You'll never become a general at the rate you're going. All of your friends alreadyhave good jobs, and you're still living at home. I think you wo'nt ever amount to anything. You need to work harder, and stop smokin that dope!"

Father, to the mother "now Martha, don't discourage the boy"

That's how Gnome editor calls it.

Heh heh.

I forget where I got this from, either a forum thread or something on TV recently, but it seems that the word "Hashish" is just Arabic for 'grass'. Hence the intoxicant reference.

Presumably, the word 'Hashishin' would translate as 'people of the grass' or 'people [hiding] in the grass', in reference to their concealment expertise.

The original snipers, no less!

Or it could mean there complete stoners hence there crazy abilities, its just one big 'trip out' for them

[Deus Ex]

IIRC - they are called Hashishin because they would use hashish to get into a "drug induced religious trance" whereby they felt very little pain and had increased physical abilities due to the trance like state...

but I could be wrong...
