-{{abilities:stealthy.png?nolink=|}} Stealthy units can move without being seen on the strategic map. This allows them to try to infiltrate hostile territories. [[Patrol]]ling units and the inherent patrol effect from [[province defense]] can however discover them. +

-===Practicalities of Stealth=== +
- +
-A stealthy commander has a number of interesting uses: +
-  - [[Scout Reports|Scouting]] and witnessing battles their nation isn't involved in. +
-    * {{abilities:spy.png?nolink}} [[Spy|Spies]] can reveal additional information, cause unrest or infiltrate capitals. +
-  - Ferrying and carrying [[gems]] and [[items]] for an army. +
-  - Avoiding fights.  +
-    * A commander set to perform a stealthy order does so before other orders such as rituals or assassinations, which can make them very difficult to catch, and rather effective at [[raiding]]. Using a ritual such as ??Teleport?? or ??Cloud Trapeze?? on top of a stealthy raider that has switched orders to hide or sneak will therefore not initiate combat. +
-  - Starting fights. +
-    * They can attack provinces the enemy thought were safe. When done on a massive scale, it is usually referred to as **"elfing"**. +
-    * This can be done by sneaking even through friendly lands so that enemy scouts do not see their approach.  +
-    * Using a ritual such as ??Teleport?? or ??Cloud Trapeze?? on top of a friendly stealthy unit that has switched orders to attack their current province (without moving) will have the stealthy unit join the fight in the [[Magic Phase Movement|Magic Phase]]. +
-  - Moving into our out of [[fort|forts]] that are under [[siege]]. +
-    * Sneaking into a fort does not allow defending against a storming attacker on the same turn, but sneaking out of a fort can be done as an attack. +
-  - {{:misc:magic:holy.png?nolink}} Priests, if stealthy, can hide and [[dominion#preaching|preach]] in an enemy province. +
- +
- +
-Commanders set on stealthy orders (hide or sneak) are unaffected by: +
- +
-  * Conventional assassination by units with the [[assassin]] ability +
-  * Remote assassination spells such as ??Earth Attack?? or ??Manifestation?? +
-  * ??Seeking Arrow?? +
- +
-Commanders set on stealthy orders are still affected by: +
- +
-  * [[Mind Hunt]], both as a valid target and protecting astral mage +
-  * ??Vengeful Water?? +
-  * ??Vengeance of the Dead?? +
-  * ??Murdering Winter?? +
-  * Using the [[wish]] spell to wish for friends, and being in the affected province +
