    You need to see the git first, though. Spies help in that too.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    I personally don't use assasins, just spies. I propably have only one assasin at a time.

    Both 1 and 2 I believe decrease the chances of asassination, although I believe spies decrease the chances better(I could be wrong there). Also for balance reasons the spies may work on a bell curve the first one will drastically reduce the chance of asassination while the fifth may make very little difference.

    Anyways since the subject is up. Spies can only detect asassins within a certain distance of thier subterfuge from my knowledge, does this seem right to anyone else.

    I really never clearly figured it out. All I know is that I have a lvl 11 assaisan and a level 6 spy together. And another spy lvl 2 with another 2 assaisans around lvl 5. They are great for counter-espionage. My spy lvl 6 goes into cities, assaisan lvl 11 assinate a family member or if none is their, I let one of my lower assaisans sabutage a the temple. Publick order goes way down, enemy revolt and can't build anything. With the 2 other assaisans, I killed enemy spies, assaisans and diplomats. And if their is anyone too strong for them, their is always the lvl 11 :P

    I tell you this, to counter them, you must attack them. Dont try to decrease chances etc.. Just don't let them exist more than 1 turn.

    both help.But i prefer taking a spies My best familiy members always have a spies next to them. it helps a lot!
    An assassin hasn`t such a great area, where he can watch the enemy. He is only useful, if you want to kill the enemy assassin
    The Enemy of my enemy isn`t my friend.

    I find an assaisan useless without a spy. I put a spy to find targets for the assaisan. And whenever the enemy recruit spies/assaisans/dplomats, I kill them. I learnt that leaving them is a threat in the hard way. I was Scythia and I was netural with Mecedonia after cracking up Thracians. In 1 turn they attacked the spy had opened the gates. Believe me, my infantry is baaaad to their Royals. So I died miserabely.
