How do you make "Seduction" effective?

[Humakty]

I must be lucky, cause the first time I tried an Oreiad, she seduced a barbarian commander, who was utterly useless I must say. I think the randomness in the selection of targets makes it almost worthless, at least for Oreiads who cost a darn lot of good pounds of gold, and have better things to do than flirting with barbs. (even if I have nothing to say about what they will do once I'll be the Pantokrator)

I've had decent success with Oreiads. But in that particular situation my capital province was on the verge of being seiged so it was a really low opportunity cost to send them out constantly.

Note that Seduction is an ability that varies in power based on the specific unit type. Succubus, for example, are dramatically better seducers than say Rakshasi.

Remember not to send them after female commanders. It only works on guys.

Except for LA Pythium's new satyrs.

The title of this thread makes me want to answer - "Liquor, expensive jewelry, and believable lies".

Fortunately I am too classy to say that.
