Sending 7 thieves work?

[peteyb22]

Does sending 7 thieves still work? Or will I just fail every time?

[TrulyHeroic]

i send 8 for no fail losses on ops and it works all the time considering they don't have anything blocking me majorly

if they have good tpa or sci or wt or spell then it takes more, but yes should still work

You can send 10 for no losses.

but the intel you get will be rubish, unless you only have like 50 thieves.


Send a min of 20% of your tpa on intel so you gather the best results.


If, however, you are a gnome, ignore my post and send 1-10 thieves!

[peteyb22]

Alrighty, thanks for the help.

OK, for intel when looking for a plunder, I use 10 thieves. It gives inaacurate results of up to 20%, but if they have a metric S-ton of gold, I take a SOT with 20% of my thieves. This way you lose less thieves.

Now for other intel
Infil= you need to send 20% for least inaccurate results
SOS= you need to send 20% for least inaccurate results
SOM= you only need to send 10 thieves and troops out will always be accurate
Survey= you only need to send 10 thieves and get accurate results
Snatch News= you only need to send 10 thieves and get accurate results

Hope that helps

I'm a gnome and I send one thief. His name is Marty.

Lol ironically that's the name of the one Soldier I sent to slay a dragon. (it only had one point left ;])

Same (awesome) guy? I think so.

10 thieves work for SoS as well, science bonus percentages will be off, but book count is 100% accurate.

what about for things like bribe gen and sab wizz? is there a point? I've been in kds where you must waste all your stealth on sab wiz on the off chance you get a success. Note: this is for low tpa provs only..

so is there a point or is it just like a 10 thief riot that is quelled immediately?

[Bishop]

10 thief sabotage wizards is useless, BG it will only last that tick.

[timberlee]

good to know on BG. Thanx...i feel like i am not stupid for doing it now...sab wiz on the other hand....WHAT A WASTE! thanx fearless leader monarch fella!

"I've been in kds where you must waste all your stealth on sab wiz on the off chance you get a success"

That seems like a pretty horrible strat to me. Sabotage Wizards and Expose Thieves are both crap - they're hard to do, and only take off like 3% from the other person. You're better off using your thieves to steal their runes.
