Assassin nations?

[HJFudge]

Im liking my MA C'tis assassins alot. Once you research enchantment up to 1 they can pop out skellies every round and then, if ya got em equipped well, finish em off.

Check this out at Sunray's Virtual Library.
The last column notes assassin. Just do a ctrl-f find to go straight to each assassin.

You'll need either Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice.org (free!), or any number of programs able to open .xls spreadsheets.

R'lyeh (MA, LA) Star Children. Jomon has Ninjas.

Mictlan (EA, LA) has rather nasty summonable ones; blood also lets you forge Black Hearts to give to stealthy units (with other plausible possibilities for this including EA Vanheim, Pangaea, and LA Ulm).

Thanks for the link!

Mictlan has summonable ones? That sounds pretty cool. :-)

I'll have to read up on black hearts.

Atlantis summons assassins as well. One shot ones, unfortunately. Not that hot, but _can_ be a quite nice sucker punch against priest-leader nations such as Ctis. Bodyguards are a major problem for Tupilaks, but mages and priest aren't, despite undead-iness.

I've tried Jomon ninjas a bit and they work early on if the target has no bodyguards. They can throw 2 poisoned shurikens a round (2 times) and if those hit they will kill low hp stuff.

Just one or 2 bodyguards ruin his day though and if the target is even semi respectable the ninja is doomed.

Prefer my Tlahuelpuchi with mictlan or star children overall

In order to have a good early game assasin, try recruiting one on the first turn and propethising him. Assasin + Smite spam = good. Just remember to put him way back in the battle placement screen.

Lanka also has assassins, the Rakshasi is a seducer/assassin, and they can summon Samanishadas later on (a Rakshasa assassin). The Rakshasi does have the problem of not having stealth in both forms, so if she shapechanges in battle, she will likely get stuck or will attack her current province.
