    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.

    Some quotes of my prefer philospher Sepp Herberger :

    "The round have to be in the bracket"
    "The play takes 90 minutes"
    "After the play is before a play"

    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.

Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Linking my assassin(s) with my spies has helped me enormously.

    1) I'm suffering only one assassination every few years, rather than one every turn!

    2) My assassin has eyes, and isn't forced to take on very difficult tasks just to have the opportunity to increase his traits.

    For a while, I thought that assassinations were just random, that the AI would get a certain numerical chance to do them, whether or not they had an assassin piece in position--with a spy, I can see my enemey, and as someone stated above, enemy assassins, even highly skilled ones, are extremely easy to remove, i.e., kill.

    The easiest yes, but a lvl 1 assaisan would have problems with a lvl 11 :P. I suggest you train them on Diplomats and Captains. You will lose quite a lot, but the ones who survive will be super assaisans. Also, if their any enemy assaisan around he'd be fine.

    I always train up some super assassins and spies to protect my hiers, my faction leader seems to have enough security on his own. Never had him assassinated or sucessfully kill an enemy faction leader.

    Makes me think of the days of shogun when you could train up some Geishas and just pluck them down like ducks with a machine gun.

    Watch Towers also help btw.

    I have made my first super assassin.. by killing captains,actually of one rebel army... just post him next to the rebels and every round kill the captain.. when he was at level 11 I took him out to play. I have found that killing family hord members is very easy.. there you can take your pick of the asiest member to kill...
    I think so far he has killed about 9-10 family members, makes battles in the field a lot easier!

    What happens if a faction loses all it's family members ?
