Well yeah, assassins can take out a lot of monsters, and monsters guard treasures :D They definitely pay for themselves :D :D :D

Now that's a completely different question))) You could split the Peasants into 6 stacks of 1 and one "meat" stack and lead the enemy around the map, periodically sacrificing 1 cow-peasant in critical cases =) Shoot at monsters with the hero... Of course, such a tactic wouldn't even appear in your worst nightmare, but then again, you could also say they pay for themselves :rolleyes: In general, the devs created "Potemkin villages" (well, that's for those own familiar with classical Russian literature or history :p ) — it seems like they pay taxes, people think they bring in income, so you need to build peasants... But now we've figured it out, turns out this is how it actually works))
