Whats the point of using Charm in enemy territory? Wont the charmed one just get killed by its former kins?

Usually. However, sometimes not (e.g. if it's the only commander and there's no PD.)

A) its still safer than fighting him
B) you get to watch him fight his previous friends giving you a clear view of what is there instead of a questionable spy report

and if its the last commander in the province....
C) you get to watch his old troops route from him giving you the province (fun!)
D) you dont need an army along or use a turn to take the province
E) you get a new commander WITH any experience, gems, and equipment he has

Fair enough. Never tried it. One could consider having a number of these charmers in a single territory, making it easier to accomplish an actually victory. Charming a thug or two wouldn't hurt then either.

I can hear the groans now. You just HAD to mention Pangaea with HIM in the thread

One of my favorites. If you give a Pan, the Black Heart, you get a FUN assassin.
The assassination makes sure combats are one-on-one. Set him for Charm and/or HellBind (he can usually do both). Give him NO followers.

Whether he assassinates or charms doesnt matter. He always tosses a couple of maenads into the province so you get a combat view of things every turn. A great way to know for sure exactly how many more commanders and whether they are worth messing with. He can take provinces without ever leaving stealth.

Its a great way to wander around behind enemy lines, grab a province, tax it to death while he sends an army to take it back. Force enemies to invest in PD more than they had planned and keep a large roaming army in territory they thought was safe.
