Re: Assasins
Prohpet assasins can work well as they can pray to get dominion high enough to be able to work without any magic items.
The skull amulet is an awesome item and can be enough by itself for basic work. Dragon helm etc is cute as are many other options but in general its best not to have to spend to much on equiping assasins as the return is generally not good enough.
Perhaps the best magic item is the contract of life long protection. One of those and a skull amulet and you have plenty to work with. An amulet opf anti-magic is perhaps the next thing to consider.
You need a few assasin to make them really effective. Assasins spend alot of time getting in postion so cheap assasins is probably the way to go. Assasins kill off leaders and making troops drop off from armies so the more of them you have the better they work. Assasins tend to work best in the first few strikes after which countermeasures can become serious. Vs the computer this is less of an issue and you can go for some fairly serious assasin abuse.
