Too bad you don't have a "Specialist" catagory up there. None of the titles really make sense for all the actions.

Or is that the "Elite" one up there?

Elite got my vote, yeah. It's basically a rephrase of "Special ops", which /does/ fit.

"You spies are ready to carry your troops to any land, no matter how distant!" :blink:

Poor spies, they are gonna get caught and executed, then some other Civ will declare war on you. Drat!

"Your spies have gathered information that allows your army to travel safely to any location no matter how distant. However, troop movements and changeing diplomatic conditions will render this information useless in 72 hours."

"Your diplomats have secured safe passage to any location no matter how far. However, changeing diplomatic conditions will negate this agreement in 72 hours."

Just a thought, how are Elites going to use scrolls? We would need to change Runes again. Scrolls worked for spies, but Elite forces.. what use have they for scrolls?

Espionage is a subset of their duties. Of course they need scrolls.

Something like "Operatives" or the above Officers seems to make the most sense. Of course, nothing really works for all their actions. A pity (well, no, actually a good thing) that Brian never implemented magic into his world.
