Assassin nations?

[Zaramis]

YOu all forgot Marignon? they have assassins too!

Tir An Og too...in fact theirs are pretty badass.
Baobhan Sidhe, A2 mages with glamour.
I havn't played them in MP though, so I dunno how good they'd be there.

Actually the more I think about them the better they seem. They're expensive, but they're also researchers so they can do that while they're not being used. Then when war comes round you can suit them up and send them out.

You think you need to suit them out? They have high precision and can cast lightning bolt or just summon phantasmal guys.

Just leave them researching and when your castle gets sieged use them to assasinate every attacking commander .

Cool thing about A2 assassins is no need to wait until your castle is sieged - you can cloud trapeze them one step ahead of an invading army. If you correctly anticipate where the army is going, you can have 7 or 8 orb lightning spewing assassination attempts while your (glamoured) defensive army moves to intercept the remainder of the army which actually moves.

Heh, think your big army of dual blessed guys are bad? Try them without a priest!

Pretty good, I had some success with them in Perpetuality.

Did you try to kit them out for melee (life drain), or did you just have them cast spells?
