The Rogue is the Elves' basic thief.
Use
Rogues steal up to 50 units (combined) of wood, clay, iron, stone, food, beer, and books. Since carrying capacity for military units has been improved--and seeking runes have been introduced--basic thieves are of minimal offensive value.
Rogues are best kept at home to defend against attacking thieves. Attacks are better left to dark elves. Overall, Elves have the poorest thieves.
Economics
Like all basic diplomats for their respective functions, rogues make the best defensive thieves for the upkeep. Basic thieves are easy to maintain in appropriate supply, as at present defending diplomats are unable to suffer losses.
