assassination chances?
Is it me, or does it seem like chances for assassination have suddenly become extremely low? Like the highest I got with a level 5 spy was a 20% success chance on a level 1 character... I mean, what the hell?

it wasnt lowered just the real chances listed, you should be converting anyway, unless you have too many atm, i have an army of agents.

That's no fun though, I want to kill the bastards. It used to be I could have a 50ish percent chance at assassinating. Now it just seems pointless if I have such a slim chance of succeeding.

I like the new system that shows you your chance of success in the seperate outcomes. If you want good assasination probabilities rank up your egents with those specific skills. I think the champion is good in the assasination department as well - his challenge to a personal duel specifically, I'm pretty sure.

Before patch 5 it used to show the percentage you have to either wound or kill the target combined. Now it only shows the kill percentage.

Why would it show you the lesser percentage change? That's mis-leading to me...

In general it has been made harder, ill tell you for why, before the last patch i lost count of how many of MY agents and generals were being killed, i mean, do these guys not have bodyguards? Level 1 spies walking into my camp and taking out top tier generals? Ok then... but now, its not happening, they sabotage or demoralise my armies alot but they rarely kill anyone important, i prefer it this way.

It doesn't show you the lesser. It shows you the chance to assassinate.

There are two possible positive outcomes of an assassination, either the target is wounded or assassinated. If they are wounded they will come back in a few turns, but if they are assassinated they are gone for good.

The chance to assassinate is usually a lot lower than the chance to wound, especially with lower level agents, but with higher level agents the chance to assissinate is often higher depending on the agents and the targets authority/cunning/zeal and theirs traits/skills.
