Questions about Thieves

Hi all, i have many questions about Thieves. I will regroup all the questions to know exactly how Thieves work, as i may not be the only one who isn't totally clear with how to use thieves.

thanks in advance.



General questions:

1) what is the carrying capacity of a Thief? have simple Thief and advanced Thief the same carrying capacity?

2) what are exactly ALL the differences between simple and advanced thief?

3) can Thieves steal the weapons, in a city, that are in caravans and waiting to be bought on marketplace?


Runes and Thieves:

3) are Thieves  killed by the killing runes? (ex: Ward of Destruction).


4) can Thieves be afraided by terror runes? (ex: Ward of Insanity)


5) If they are killed of frightened by a rune, does the defender have a report to tell him who attacked him with Thieves?


Defending Thieves:

6) is there a difference of attacking power between simple and advanced Thieves?

7) does a Thief have the same attack and defence value? (unlike military units?)

8) when the Thieves passed thow the deffensive rune:
are all attacking Thieves blocked by simple and advanced defending Thieves? or are simple Thieves  blocked by simple Thieves, and advanced Thieves blocked by advanced Thieves?

9) when the attacking Thieves won against the defending ones:
- are the defending ones completly destroyed?
- are the attacking ones suffering casualties?


Visibility of the Defender:

10) is there a chance for the attacking Thieves to steal the ressources without being seen by the defender's Thieves? (without starting a fight) can the defender receive a repot to tell who stole him in this case?

11) if attacking Thieves killed all defending Thieves, does the defender have a chance to receive a report that tells who stole him?

12) if attacking Thieves were cought by defending ones, is there a chance that the defender doesn't receive a report that tells who tryed to steal him?

13) which factors can increase/decrease the visibility of the attacking Thieves for the defender? (difference of consulate level? difference of Thieves number/power? size of the defending city?

14) to sum up: the more attacking Thieves, the more chances to successfully steal a city without being known by the defender?


Edit: bonus question :p  : can we steal players who are in a NAP with us? in Confederation with us? can we steal our own alliance mates? can we steal ourself?
