valouring up agents

[macsen rufus]

On a slightly related note, I recently found a general who had picked up the "Outlaw" vice, so for once I decided to use a spy to try him for treason (btw I'd NEVER done a treason trial before, so wasn't quite sure what to expect).

As it turned out the trial was a "failure" in as much as there wasn't enough evidence (he was a pretty loyal chappie despite his outlawry) but what did happen was that his "outlaw" vice disappeared, to be replaced by the "informants" virtue. Pretty cool result. So I think I might use my spies a bit more to sort out some more of the thieving, conniving s scattered across the far-flung corners of empire. I don't think the spy earned any valour though, cos his mission was a "failure".

What does the informants virtue do ?

"Informants" adds +2 valour vs spies/assassins, often seen where an agent mission has failed. Darn sight better than "outlaw", anyway
