The last time I bound something so much I cut the circulation off to Mirths hands.

Champions are good at spreading your faction's gospel in your own provinces and for undermining the enemy in their provinces. They can also be used as assassins and saboteurs and can be leveled up to gain different skill sets.

I add them to my armies to train up my troops experience levels every turn.  I often get more level-ups from them than battles.  Then use them to kill any nearby spies or other agents when they are detected near that army, usually trying to F with it.

Great suggestion....will have to give it a go when I play later this afternoon. Thanks!

Your soldiers get really experienced if you choose the training bonus level-ups for the Champion.  Fortunately the Champions also get xp every turn while assigned to train an army in this way, so they also regularly level.  Win-win.

With the latest patch I have noticed that level ups are more common for all agents too.

Really? 

They were already levelling pretty fast when set to an ongoing task like that.  Already seemed like they shot up a bit too fast, perhaps.

[Gusington]

^Yeah. Noticed level ups from simple, more passive 'set up spy network' missions and the like too.

I've been nabbing opposing agents with the manipulation thing.

[Gusington]

^Me too, a little more than I remember in previous patches also.

Agents or no, I'm getting my but kicked as Athens in the Wrath of Sparta campaign. Can't seem to keep my cities happy and the amount of enemy armies is troublesome

[Gusington]

Can you kick back?

[mikeck]

Can you kick back?

Here and there, but if I pull an army out of a city to go on offense, an enemy army heads right for it. All provinces have such Low approval that if I lose a city and take it back, they revolt. The campaign is easy as sparta but very tough as athens.

Intriguing...I have taken a break from my Armenia campaign to get into some WWI games for a bit but everything I have tried today is either too complicated (To End All Wars), totally unfinished (Battle of Empire 1914-1918) or too simple (Wings). TW has spoiled me for all other games by hitting that sweet spot. I'll need to get back to Armenia shortly.

Try the WWI mod for company of heros, can DL it through steam.

[Gusington]

I have the non-Steam version of that buried somewhere...you like it?
