Cheers folks,It sounds like it works pretty much how i guessed it would. Ive Finally managed to get rid of the scottish king, it took a long time but I basically swamped scotland with spies, and inquisitors and eventually Grand inquisitors when i had them - Assassins just seemed to get killed "whip, whip, singe, arghhhh", over and over and over - eventually I got a line who all turned out to be naughty atheists and murderers, The Inquisition did its work Im sure sbroadbent is right about normal inquisitors not having a chance at killing a faction leader because it was only after I sent in the GI's
that I got the result I was looking for. I too hate enemy border forts many an honest assassin has been stop in his legitimate business by them, Im not sure if I have the courage not to use them myself however at the moment in MTW
Its as if my generals have been dipped in assassin attracting pheromone - I hear "whip, whip, singe, arghhhh" almost as much as the background music.

The Irish seem to have some kind of sixth sense, I can take out generals easily with GI,s but not the royal family, every time i try they fail and then shortly after the GI is killed by assassins - Every assassin i send in fails miserably too, I will persevere though - or maybe just invade

I'll check out The guide sounds like a good idea, I do have another question relating to my assassin attracting pheromone but I'll check out the guide first

once again cheers Keep those daggers sharp
