Fast Troops Patrol Better? Ok but ...

[Chazar]

• Are there any new general insights on this topic? (Liga's manual addenda does not help much here)
• Is the effectiveness for catching spies the same as for reducing unrest?
• Are wolves (or animals in general) useful or bad for catching spies?

Spirit Mastery works well for patrolling. 15 spirits for 4 death gems, with a tactical speed of 12 each.

I do have a feeling that patrolling may be bugged at very high levels... when you kill over 100 brigands, I think it subtracts from 100 from the total, so you only kill 20 with 120 worth of patrollers. I'm not sure of this, though. Has anyone ever managed to kill over 100 bandits in one turn?
