I was struck with the wonderment if one could thieve from npc's. Sicne one usually gets gold when defeating npc's, one must believe that the npc's are holding onto said gold.  To discover if I could thieve gold i sent twenty adv thieves in to some jags.  Now we wait

Sadly, I did not make off with any golds, i did get  a successful misson message from the System however. So it makes me wonder if one can indeed steal gold from npc's and that npc did not have any gold.
 
Will do later experiments

I think Scouts are the only Diplo that does anything to a non-city square.

When you send an assassin to a siege encampment you also get a success notice even though no commanders are assassinated and the devs have confirmed that one cannot assassinate commanders in the field.

Well, I doubt that aniimal/monster NPCs carry around gold that thieves can steal.  I rationalize the gold recovery from killing these critters as actually being earned by selling meat, hide, ivory, etc.
 
The army NPCs, the gold could be coins from the soldiers, but I rationalize it as being the value of weapons and armor being redeemed for cash awards.  :)
