WHAT PUT ME ON THIS THOUGHT WAS THE THIEVES GUILD FROM HEROES 3 THAT YOU AND YOUR ENEMIES USE TO SPY ON EACH OTHER FROM LIKE THE CITY TAVERN

I JUST HAD THIS MOMENT OF "HUH, HOW THE FUCK WOULD THAT EVEN WORK. WHAT IS A THIEVES GUILD ANYWAY, LIKE HOW ISN'T IT JUST OUTLAWED AND WHY IS IT CALLED THAT IN ABOVE BOARD OPERATIONS"

AND ITS DONE FROM A TAVERN TOO, WHERE YOU HIRE THE HEROES THAT LEAD YOUR ARMIES AS GENERALS

AND YOU'RE NOT REALLY LIMITED BY FACTION, YOU CAN HIRE ENEMY FACTION HEROES

IIRC YOU CAN EVEN HIRE ENEMY HEROES IF YOUVE SMACKED ONE DEAD AND THE OTHER GUY DOESN'T REBUY HIM, THE SMACKED HERO EVENTUALLY POPS UP IN THE TAVERN ROTATION
