Tien Chi Default

Imperial Consorts are (of course imo) the single best unit in the game. Even against real players and not simply the AI. They are virtually impossible to detect and require a ton of troops patrolling a province to be caught - in truth, i've yet to have a single one be uncovered.

They have the same stealth as the spies that are available to Ulm or Marignon, but cost 10 gold more. They will be found quite easily in an opponent's capital if the initial province defense is still there. It should only take about 25-40 units patrolling to find it in a few turns otherwise. Black Forest Ulms Members of the Second Tier are considerably more stealthy and also have astral 2, blood 1. They can cast ritual of returning to make it much harder to actually kill them.
