Bug.

Twice in game, assassin kills opponent in one hit - without taking damage or having another other ill effects.

Assassin is then gone, and once not in the hof (ie., vanished, not dead.

Frustrating.

Which assassin do you mean?

Belos died in battle.

Yegon is still there, in province 29.

Magog was discovered by troops and killed in province 49, Ucrema.

Which one is not accounted for?

Btw I like the insane amount of empowering you've done, particularly when one of your empowered guys is casting spectral infantry of all things :]

Like Sombre said. Belos died in the assassination attempt. Magog killed his target but got slain by PD.

You don't get in the Hall of Fame just by dying (though it can help). This game's Hall is just too full of famous dudes already.

If you watch the battle - he kills his guy but what kills him? He isn't poisoned, or burning he just.. dies..

Who, Belos?

I can't be bothered to check again, but I'm pretty sure I remember the bloke he was after just killed him with a sword.

I checked again, and I'm glad I did, because I've never seen The Admiral's Sword before!

Here's a description of the battle:

Belos the Abysian Slayer is on the left. Herminafrid the Ulmish Warrior Chief is on the right. It is spring, but for some reason both warriors have bedecked themselves in fall colors. To show his contempt for his intended victim, Belos is casually smoking. This pisses off Herminafrid immensely, so he charges forth. But really Below was just trying to hide his limp.

Belos hobbles forward a little more. Herminafrid dashes up and swings his sword, which turns out to be a rare artifact, The Admiral's Sword. But he's not used to fighting limping, smoking assassins, and misjudges the blow. Belos has a chance! He stabs with his daggers, but both blows glance off of Herminafrid's hauberk.

With one more mighty swing, Herminafrid chops Below in twain with a blow that could have slain a man three times as large.
