What definately pays off is using spies to open gates before assaults, but by many considered a cheat.

Why is it considered a cheat? This happened in History all the time! God I'm so tired of everything that involves fighting a battle with a distinct advantage being labeled as a "cheat". Come on! Next we'll see people telling you that killing the enemy general on purpose is a "cheat" or hell even declaring war a "cheat". There's house rules and then there's just being asinine pedantic about the game. I use auto_win, Spies to open gate/encourage revolts, elite stacks, bribed huge stacks and disbanded them, and I've even sapped the Walls of Rome! I'm such a cheater!
