EB newbie

I've found out that when a city is more then 2 turns at 65% loyalty, it'll revolt. Spies are very usefull when you're playing Bactria (or any small kingdom around the Arche) and trying not to break your alliance with Seleucia, but still capturing some cities.

Thank you very much Conradus.
What happen if i use this sistem against Eleutheroi?
Does it succeded?

[Thaatu]

Rebels can't rebel. ...Okay, that was very badly put, but true.

Thank you Thaatu

i thought that the city controll will shift to you if you use enough spies..

i have so much to learn about EB.....

Thanks to everyone

Keep in mind that cities get a lot of law bonuses in EB, making it trickier for spies to enter and half or more will likely die if they're fresh from recruitment. You might do well to keep your spies in one of your settlements with markets to make them trained and/or spy a little on characters outside of settlements before sending them in, increasing their chance.

I love spies, especielly against the selues. I never fought about using Assasins, thanks for the tip!

BTW always remember to activate the script everytime you start a camp or load a save!!

when using spies, agents or diplomates make sure they get the "trained" trait before sending them out on missions. actually, once they are trained keep them in a developed settlement or capital for a few more years untill they're over 30 years old. i try to use them togther with my legions. before attacking i send my spy forward wreck havoc with my agent and after i raid the settlement i'd either sue for peace or gift it to some other faction to create a buffer zone.
