Category:Thief Units

Thieves sneak into enemy cities to pilfer resources.

A group of thieves that succeeds at robbing a city will take a randomly-chosen single basic resource until no more can be taken, before filling their remaining capacity with another resource. Advanced thieves can also take advanced resources, but the chance of actually gaining any seems very low. On top of the relatively vast quantities of basic resources generally available, advanced resources are only very rarely the first resource chosen.

Sometimes the race of successful thieves can be determined by their carrying capacity and the amount of stolen goods:
