You mean seducing lawyers and judges or busting people out of courthouse cells?

[Rowanas]

Well, kinda both. I reckon that eventually you should be able to plant spies throughout a civilisaton (although primarily in the major cities, rather than the tiny villages) for information and security. Some of your spies might be leaking info, while others are just there to keep you out of trouble and whisper lies in the ears of the king.

I like the planting spies idea like Sleepers (spies) in Liberal Crime Squad. We also should be able to use them for things like sabatoges and assassinations but that's probably the task of "active" spies. Maybe there could be two different types of spies. Active spies and unactive spies. Unactive spies generally are only about information and counterintelligence. Active spies should be able to carry out specific tasks you give to them, like enticing a rebellion.

But spies don't kill people. Spies find information. There's a different word for the other thing.

But A Song of Ice and Fire has little kids as spies who can also act as assassins because no-one suspects the children!

[Man of Paper]

I believe the umbrella term would be "agent".

[Leatra]

Yeah, spies are only about information, not sabotaging. Sorry about that. Agent sounds okay (even though "spy" sounds more awesome)

EDIT: That image is a lot larger than I remember it being.

Honestly I have a theory on this game: It will involve the Stone Cutters Guild or the Illuminati somehow.

I will give it a shot, and I will let you know if my ancient machine is capable of running Ultima Ratio Regum after I do some testing of said game. Just as a heads up however, these are my computer's specifications.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's a Compaq Presario 5320US running Windows XP SP2 and DirectX 9.0c, with a Pentium 4 Willamette 1.5Ghz CPU, 768MB of PC133 SDRAM, and an ATI Radeon 9250 with 256MB of RAM and support for Pixel Shader 1.1, Vertex Shader 1.1, DirectX 8.1 and "support" for DirectX 9.0c. Most of the games posted in this forum my computer is unable to play, let alone install.

...why?

[Man of Paper]

Because if we forget the past, we are doomed to repeat it, and I don't wanna go back to those specs.

But agents are just like, informers and people who shelter secret operatives.

[fred1248]

Just make them tortoise ninjas that feed on pizza, I'm sure all will go well.

[Mongol13524]

I think "spy" would be the best term. Assassins could be a different thing entirely.
