why pick on the thieves,the only role they play in the entire game is just that..thieving!
pinning them back with more hurdles takes away their speciality whether its in small teams or large.

Restricting their numbers relative to the size of the town/city they attack,  might be more appropriate, ie that the larger the town the more you can send would be fine,  having to keep sending groups of thieves out in small numbers is just simply making too much work on the keyboard, not mention very tedious.

restrictions on size of attacking thieve armies relative to town targets would also safeguard the smaller town without killing the concept of using thieves.

but TBH why restrict them at all? this is a game of all sorts, there will always be victims and besides,  from what ive seen in the GC,  people always gang up and track any would be perpertrators and get their justice one way or another as it is.

I'm not sure if its the high performance mathematical madness of this; or the sensible realism that intrigues me more... Wink

On the surface it's a good idea, however i agree with scar, this would make it really hard  to get away with thieving a large player and really easy to get away with thieving a new player. Could we have a more realistic game mechanic for thieves where the more you send the less likely you are to succeed? Ie success chance = (Thief attack strength) * (target pop) / (no. thieves sent)^2 / (total thief defence) / (no. attacks in 24 hr period)

That would be interesting - posting scouts and spies throughout the kingdom.  But I think the diplos would have to vulnerable to attack, too.  Otherwise, the map would be cluttered a zillion diplos on watch duty permanently.

just make sure they are vulnerable to assassination or even vulnerable to be attacked by other scouts (no two scouting parties could occupy the same square).

I would love to see these ideas implemented.

I would like to have confederations or at least alliances share the visibility. (i.e. a spy goes past my town and all alliance or confed buddies can see it.)

There are only 10 kinds of people and only half of those understand this.
