I've heard that immortal (and twiceborn etc) units that flee during assassination are lost. I didn't know it was the same if they're killed. Both cases sounds like bugs to me.

a) Piercer is actually armor negating, not armor piercing. Vision's Foe is also AN. All X-bows and Arbalests (including non-magic ones, with the exception of the above two) are armor piercing, so that includes the Banefire Xbow and the Just-Man's Cross.
As An ranged weapon, there is also a lv 8 construction xbow that is An and have 999 as damage.
I think that is a one shot-one kill weapon, at least from flavor text and experience.

It's not construction 8 (that would mean it's unique). It's constr 2 or 4, and it's negated by magic resistance. It's basically Soul Slay that can be resisted by magic resistance, Air Shield or a shield with a good parry value.

No one mentioned the lightning bow? Armor negating, with strength based damage.

Oddly enough, it appears to work on mindless units too, sort of. I had a poison golem that got hit by an Ethereal Crossbow and took 85 points of damage from it--I assume because he failed his MR check.

Are u sure it's not Con8? MY pretender wasn't able to forge it when i had con6,but maybe i just didn't see it.

The ethereal crossbow requires con 6 and 1 astral to make.

Thanks for the clarification.

Re: Assassin
 
Can assassin units be used to kill mages in forts? For that matter, are all units in a province with a fort protected from being targeted by an assassination attempt? I have no experience using assassin units, so any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Forts don't protect against assassins.
