Use of agents/Locations

**Shuazoid** · December 29, 2010, 10:32 AM

Hi, what are ways to use your agents? Is positioning important? I frequently see the AI put their Imams near cities, does it matter if Bishops stay inside the city or surround or are just in the region?

Thanks

I think, inside they can't turn the heretics i suppose?

Once I recruited a priest and it turned heretic exactly when I ended the turn.

That was a nice 200 florins right down the drain...

positioning is relatively important. for example, a priest/imam who has a heretic near him has the chance of being turned heretic. he can also turn heretic if you try to "attack" (forgot the correct terminology) a heretic and are unsuccessful. so unless your priest/imam has a high piety rating, you should avoid heretics or place multiple ones in the region.
to take care if a heretic easily, assassinate him.

It's better to use priests so they gain more piety faster. If you want to train assassins, kill captains, diplomats, and opposing religion's priests (not heretics).
