Default Re: Stupid Stealth Question

It can also be handy if you can position a stealth army on the far side of his territory. Draw his armies one direction, and then hit him hard on the other side.

Sometimes you can slip a stealth army into his interior. Often only the capital has high PD. Stop next to his capital and at the best moment attack it. Recruit mercs there, set the taxes at 200%, pillage, blood hunt, anything to drive the unrest over 100. That way even if he gets it back he still cant recruit for awhile. You might not be able to hold that province but the loss of funds and the time it takes to get you out can cost him the game.

Guerrila Warfare works well also. Armies that take a province then fade out to show up 3 or 4 provinces away and take another. Setting the PD high, recruiting locals, taxing heavily, etc can make it a real thorn in the other guys territory. Maybe even hold it long enough to get a castle built.
