Hehe, it's called Vanheim. OK, not most units, but their most powerful (and sacred) units, and most of their commanders, and one of their pretenders, have stealth + glamour + free Mirror Image every battle.

Pangaea has a lot of stealth too (but not glamour AFAIK).

And the Last Tuatha Theme of Man, which is almost a clone of Vanheim with Nature and Air magic.

Yep. But only stealth +0, and there seems to be a very big difference between that and stealth +30. In a test game, I send a stealth +30 Bard to the capital of Vanheim, with orders to cause unrest. He has been there a *long* time. It seems a substantial advantage to the nations with spies/assassins.
