Assasins
 

Which nations got stealth commanders with the assasinate ability? I know about Abyssia but no clue about the rest.

Here you can find a list of all national troops in dom3:

(-> UNITS DB)

Abysia, C'tis, Ermor, Lanka, Pythium, R'lyeh, Shinuyama/Jomon

Hum (from memory, might be wrong for one or two)

- Abyssia (EA and MA , but not the same units, and probably LA too, didn't play it recently)
- Ermor, Pythium and Marignon got the human "standard" assassin. (there might be more nations with this assassin)
- Lankha and Arco EA, and the monkeys LA (as the seduce ability turn to assassination when it fail, most of the time, and is better than assassination when it works, and those three have a recruitable unit with this ability).
Lankha also has an assassin as national summon
- Mictlan has a pretender assassin (lord of the night - might not be available for all eras), the only pretender with this ability. And of course with them it's easy to summon a succubus

... hum, that's all that I think of for now.

Oh almost forgot : Shinuyama and Jomon both have assassins too.

The bakemono assassin seams weak, but with fear it can sometimes root an opponent that would have won the fight else.

And ninja have awesome stats (some of the best base attack and defence values in the game, as well as good precision) and get poisoned shurikens that can kill your target before it get to you.

Add some cheap magic items if needed and you have a ninja thug ^_^

Re: Assasins
 

ctis and rlieh have assasins-mages.
machaka has a high cost superior assasin.

so:

Marignon, Phytium and Ermor - Assasin (also you get this by random events and a special site)
Abysia - Slayer
Jomon - Ninja
Machaka - Spider Warrior (not sure abour the name)
Rlieh - Star child
Ctis - Empoisoner
Mictlan - Lord of the Night

Also theres one from random events. An common assasin like ermor's but equipped with a ethereal robe, from a nation called "Elludia"

Re: Assasins
 

I'm just going by memory from Dom2 here, but I think Machaka's Spider Warriors are the stealth troop rather than the assassin. I think the assasin is called the 'Bane Spider'. You can get the ethereal assassin from a rare astral site as well (The hidden city of Elludia)

Re: Assasins
 

Arcos also has a seducer unit. Its not quite assassination but can be more fun (except that it doesnt work on females)

Re: Assasins
 

Are there any summonable assassins? There are certainly several seducers/corruptors, but what about plain old assassins?

Re: Assasins
 

Lanka and Mictlan have national assassin summons. Wishing for a Lord of the Night is an assassin summon of sorts.

Last there's the Black Heart, a rather easy to forge Blood item (if you've any Blood mage..) giving any stealthy unit equipped with Assassin ability. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
