    Historically assassination missions were all meant to be one-way. Assassins (derived from hashishin) were to murder a prominent leader in as public a place as possible, and were expected to die immediately afterwards at the hands of the victim's guards.

    Can you manage to upgrade enough places by 1200 to be able to start the production at 2 years for each? Nice idea though...

    Actually you are right: that would be an overkill... Just have 16-20 units of them in a fortress with upgrades and bye-bye Horde... (The Horde will always storm the castle upon emergence on next turn if the castle of the province is left occupied)

    Can you even put more than 16 units in a fortress?

    And if you could, where would your reinforcements come from when you defend in the siege battle?

    Now thats an interesting question. I did not think about that...

    I thought there is a certain capacity of the castle, so smaller units fill it with more units than e.g. spearmen. I don't know about reinforcements...

    What I did once was that I filled the maxxxed out Fortress in Khazar with Varangian Guards (16 units if I remember correctly). They hardly broke a sweat killing the Horde.

    I extrapolated this experience with Hassassins - but I should think before writing
