Low risk/high reward is ideal. High risk/high reward and low risk/low reward are both acceptable, with high risk/low reward being an outright bad idea unless you are really desperate.

On domes: Mind hunt has been brought up as an effective assassination counter. Domes effectively nullify this, as trying to mind hunt into a dome is an outright bad idea. It's patrol that has a chance of nabbing an assassin, and in the case of the Harvester of Sorrows or similar, it might take a few rounds before patrol is a viable option. That said, the Harvester is expensive enough that buying a mage, loading it up with whatever it takes to kill the Harvester, and calling it a day should be efficient - sure, Mind Hunt doesn't work under a dome, but Soul Slay still does, as do Charm and Enslave Mind.

Mind Hunt works if you have a mage in the dome to cast the spell.

Huh. I wasn't aware of that detail.

Really deathblob, or arth thou a christmass troll?

Re: Good Assassin in Conjuration?
 

Well, I didn't know either.

Re: Good Assassin in Conjuration?
 

Sheesh, I resemble that accusation!

Domes attempt to block most rituals when they are cast from outside the domed province and targeting the domed province. Astral Window is an exception, probably Astral Projection too, not that anyone ever casts it.

But mages inside the domed province can cast remote rituals targeting the province they are in, and the domes will not block the ritual or damage the mage because of the ritual. Some stuff you can do if you are inside a dome:

- Ghost Riders or FFTS or Earth Attack or Leprosy a besieging army
- Call of the Winds, for patrolling or siege defense
- Cast a remote Site Search spell on the current province

Re: Good Assassin in Conjuration?
 

Yes, Deathblob is right. You can cast from the same prov.

Wow, news to me :) super. Lets see where I can put this information on the wiki.

I like The Looming Hell, but it only works with a strong dominion.
