My first question is about how many thieves to send. I was told a single thief was enough and a success would last for the tick. Is this true?
My second question is about how the chances of increased losses is actually applied. The wiki says "Effectively a 1 in 5 chance per attack to increase troop losses by 15% on all combat." The word "effectively" is what makes me wonder. To me, there are 2 possible scenarios.
1. Exactly 1 general is bribed, and since you usually have 5 total, you have "effectively a 1 in 5 chance" per attack assuming you use 1 general per attack.
OR
2. Each general has a 20% chance to roll for increased losses.
If scenario 1 is true, would that mean someone who uses 4 generals in a single attack would have an 80% chance for increased losses. Would hitting someone with all 5 generals home and BG result in a 100% chance of increased losses for them?
If scenario 2 is true, is it possible for more than 1 general to have increased losses per unique? If someone is very unlucky, could all 4 attacks roll for increased losses?
