AI Assassination

[LDiCesare]

The ai has no clue about assassins. Never givess bodyguards, never patrols where assassins are expected, doesn't put cheap anti-assassin items (skull talisman, bottle of livign water etc.) on useful mages...
I also never saw an ai actually use an assassin offensively. Or any stealth unit intelligently either.

I've played games where the AI spammed assassins. I played LA Ermor against a few AI's, one of them being Jomon I think. Just about every turn I was losing one of those free spawn commanders or two against their little ninjas. Not like it mattered THAT much, but it was kind of annoying.

I've seen AI Jomon use its ninja, too - I started right next door to them as Bogarus in a SP game and they took out a starets before I remembered "oh right, Jomon actually has assassins worth mentioning". That's probably about as much mileage as you'll ever see the AI get out of them.
