Actually any seducer (Oreiad, Rakshasi, Nagini) is an assassin. And also a perfect Tlahuelpuchi of Mictlan. 2B1N1D and flight for 25 slaves.

No I just wasn't sure which mage assassins people would actually recruit and have hanging around doing research until they're needed.

Assasin spells are best. Like Manifestation and Earth attack.
But sending like 5 or 6 regular assasins to the research center is damaging. You can snatch a couple of clams too. and then move them around.

One not exactly obvious strategy is using assasins when you are besieged in castle, to take out sieging commanders. Much safer to assasins in questions, as they can't be found by patrolling army.

Well, Empoisoner is a decent mage and researcher and I tend to recruit them only from some point. And later they may be very useful.

This is actually my very favorite one. Use swarms of them for blood hunting, and with leech you even have a good chance of succeeding despite most bodyguards.

No, they are spies, not assassins.

I just read in the bug thread that someone gave a vampire count a black heart. I totally like this idea, first you have a nice assasin and then, if your opponent manages to kill that assasin on your terrain, you still have the unit and he has a chest wound (that is probably useless to him, unless you accidently attacked a stealthy commander)
