Exploit..unwanted agents and generals

[Odin]

I have found that loading that unwanted general or king onto a ship does work this way.

Load said unit onto ship and move out to sea. Use the army scroll list to find said general. Have him walk off into the water....

I did this by accident the first time. I have never had them with a stack of units or any other spies or priests etc., just the lone unit I am trying to get rid of. It annoyed me the first time as I lost a good general. After that, I use to get rid of the faction heir/ruler that is a real loser.

Brilliant if it works. In MTW your agents could assisinate your own generals, they cant in MTW2 which baffles me.

I usually send the general in question against rebels and let him die a noble death, but drowning is fine, albeit gamey.

I wish I could just kill him with my assassins

If you walk him across a strait and then hit return just as he is about to cross he will also drown. (He has to land on the green arrow.)

That's just mean. But hilarious.

In one word : BRILLIANT ^^

[Dîn-Heru]

Well, I discovered it by accident and considering I did not want to lose that agent it was not as brilliant as one might think.. But, ah well that's life..

time to go drown me some family members!

Actually, the disbanding the boat method does work. I used it to help create July's Gahzette Challenge. The boat must be in a port and to prevent the avatars from exiting, you need to have armies blocking all adjacent land 'tiles.' It took several tries to get it to work, but I can definitely confirm that under the right conditions, you can do it.

good work!

for priests, i usually use them on heretics until they either improve or turned. if they turned heretic, i'd set my nearest high-level priest so that i can level them up. with generals and assassins at least they can die in the call of duty.

can't do much with crappy merchants (it'd improve the AI merchants to take over my own) nor the princesses and diplomats. but i guess time to retire them, without pensions.

lookout for the straits that will soon bear the names of my deceased princesses and diplomats!
