It took me awhile but finally got an assasins guild, and that in istelf helps alot.
Even with a master thieves guild I would get lvl 1 assasins and basically all they could do was sabatoge. Churches seem the easiest thing to do so would level them up until they got a second increase. From there it was taking chances on 50-60% targets. Once got third skill it was a bit easier as it omcreased chances.
My highest assasins tho are only 5 as I dont have a masters guild nor have I been offered any HQ's of any kind.
I think the problem is, with a spy, all I need to do is spy anything, be it rebel,merchant,diplomat,priest, whatever and it's a skillup. With assasins even getting a successful kill doesnt guarantee a skillup. Plus it might be I have bad luck but most of my assasination failures are death. The ones that dont kill me are the ones that trigger the snake vids, I think Princesses and some others.
But that does sound awesome what you accomplished and sounds like you put alot of patience into it.
I wonder tho if you need to target non family members. I guess it adds to the hunt but I really never thought about what happens to priests and such when a faction dies. So far I only killed of scotland and they had no one on the map.
Good story tho!
