Questions about Thieves

Thanks The Dude and Createure for your detailled answers and corrections

Obviously, just have to verify for the carrying capacity for simple and advanced thieves.

If steal ourself is considerd as a cheat to transport ressources faster, GM's may have already prevent people to be able to steal their own towns no?

Thanks, i do my best to understand the machinery of the game in details, and help the ones who will read this kind of topics.

I was sure i wasn't the only one who wasnt totally clear with thieves :), even if we are playing for a long time there are always details we dont know or forget. Personnally i never really used thieves, but now im thinking about to use them often, that's why i made this topic.


GODsDestroyer : about how to calculate ranking points earned by attacker or defender who uses thieves, i think that's a bit out of the subject because you can't reply to this question without talking about the ranking points you earn whith scout, spy, sabotage and assassination actions.

but if someone can explain how is that calculated, would be intersting to know as well :)

well i just verified for the points that wasn't clear:

so simple and advanced thives have the same carrying capacity and it's 50.

and you can steal your own cities. would be nice to know if this is really a game abuse or not :)

Yeh I'm sure people are welcome to do their best to find bugs in the game, that's fine. Just make sure you report them. ;)

And with UI_V2 I'm sure there will be some increadibly strange and intricate combinations of actions that only a player could come up with to create bugs... which i'm sure the dev team would LOVE to know about.

if thieves steal from yourself , and you have thieves within the city, they will fight each other, we have stolen from ourselves and each other in the past, but you need to make sure the tieves and runes are down when stealing from friendlies

Well, I reckon that is one way to pump up your diplo score.  Sounds like abuse to me, though.
