Mongoose - Starting (at last!)

Well, some of the time I was sneaking my scouts with my army. And then that didn't work, so I guessed that maybe stealth movement came before rituals, so I started moving them one step behind my army. So it's not quite as unlucky as it seems.

But there must be something special about stealth and rituals. I've seen people on the boards say that one of the advantages of stealth is that you can raid and then stealth before your opponent can react with rituals. I wasn't sure if that meant stealth movement came before rituals, or protected against rituals, or what.

Could it be that mind hunt ignores stealth, but summoning style assainations (like earth attack) don't?

I was just trying a game against the AI and I was being plagued by assassins. I tried popping a few mind hunt's at them and never connected. Either they are moving out before the mind hunt fires or they can't be hit.
