Assassination n00b.

[Jazzepi]

If you're talking about the mind hunting spell, you need astral mages to catch them in the act. If you just have a handful of level 1 astral mages, it'll feeblemind almost all of their casters.

Unfortunately, I have no astral access. So I need to know, is indie commander spam an effective way to waste their gems?

Actually, in hindsight, 2 pearls to attack one of my commanders without retaliation? Ouch.

[Tyrant]

Yeah, barbarian chiefs as padding does help since targeting is random.

Thanks for the answers.

Indy priests are probably the best bet if you have the temples built already since they've got 13 MR, sacred upkeep and can actually contribute somewhat in combat with bless/banish. The 3 points of MR is the main selling point, since keeping your decoys alive is a good thing.

Isn't there a ring of warning that helps?

[Jazzepi]

That helps by giving you 10 bodyguards instead of 5 during an assassination attempt. Unfortunately mind hunt is not one of those, and it will not randomly pick a body guard. You have to recruit indy commanders if you want to not get hit by the spell.

In the Battlefield FFA game, I had this wench stealing my Arch Theurgs. She
eventually got paralyzed by a petrify, and chopped to bits by five principles.

I'm still laughing about an ex-girlfriend good at assassinations.

Thanks for that

That does seem worrisome doesnt it?
My ex-girlfriend was good at using assassins in the games. Just fantasizing? or Practice?
