(check the random events list attached to Edi's signature).

If the message said "Special Monsters" then it was a remote assasian spell cast by an anonymous nation.

If the assasian was from another nation in the game then it would say "Nation A v Nation B". There is no way for a player to simulate the "Independents" message during an assasianation, so it can only be a random event if that is the case. (the same/similar assasian unit is just a coincidence)

Thanks, Calahan!

The message said:
"There was a battle in Province X (special)"
Then "Independents attack..."

So it was indeed a coincidence! Wars have begun like that!
I was right to stay cautious then.
After years of playing the game SP, I don't think I have ever seen this random event targeting a lone commander.

Ok, sorry to have cast a doubt on someone. But that's the goal of the thread too: to ask questions about what's happening.
-------
Speaking of it, there's a lot happening these turns. How come nobody talks about it? For fear of losing a slight advantage? For me, discussing the game (even in general terms) is part of learning more about it.
Information is power, that's true.

Information, the first principle of warfare, must form the
foundation of all your efforts. Know, of course, thine enemy.
But in knowing him do not forget above all to know thyself.
The commander who embraces this totality of battle shall win
even with the inferior force.

Well, I am keeping a record for thorough AAR
, but because of my particular strategy I cant start posting the entries for awhile now. Maybe not before I am out for good.

Out of the closet, out of the water or out of the game?
I hope it's not the latest. Seeing as everybody here and in other forums speak of LA R'lyeh as extremely dangerous, I expect you to stay with us some more time.
In fact, I'd like to fight you later...if I'm still alive
For the moment, you're nowhere near my shores.
