Back to LT - Doctrines

2008-01-19 [Blood Raven]: Maybe something like Ambassadors (see a little information of someone, low risk of losing agent), or Spies (high risk of losing agent, but more information) could go here as well? Or Saboteurs (secretly destroy enemy buildings) or even worse than that. More 'evil' agents might even have an option to poison a town's water supply.

2008-01-19 [Duredhel]: ^^ All of those go here, no worries, I'll ask for more ideas once i run out.

2008-01-19 [Blood Raven]: okidoki :)

2008-02-03 [Duredhel]: Any other ideas?

2008-02-06 [NamelessMerc]: Hm, how about something to do with creating extra gold? Like a Merchant-type agent who can trade to a higher standard? =S

2008-02-08 [Anomynous]: How about this: Cultists to spred your religion in territories where its different from yours, thus creating dissent in that particular region which may lead to a popular revolt and, since the population is of the sam religion as yours, you can maybe negotiate an annexation. Or just conquer the damn province and at least not worry about the religion. The cultist would do what the prophet does, only gradually and without dying so easily.
As for "syphoning population" (nice term, by the way), try Propagandist
Furthermore, how about a unit to spread dissention and demoralisation among enemy army ranks? Something in the lines of Doomspeaker, sayer, whatever.
Soothsayers to counter the doomspeakers.
Religious fanatic to boost unit morale (above their regular limit) and/or attack.

2008-02-08 [Duredhel]: Well the Preacher option already allows a unit spread its religion in a foreign territory, the Agitator already allows a unit to cause dissent, I might use propagandists to lower morale of enemy armies outside of battles, and the religious fanatic one would be a combat doctrine, not an agent doctrine (I think there's several with similar characteristics, but thanks so much for the input :3) Keep in mind guys, these are doctrine options, a single unit can have several of these. And keep on giving suggestions ;) they're much appreciated.

2008-02-10 [Duredhel]: Added a few doctrine options based on Predator's and Nameless' suggestions :3 any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
