[Discuss] Infils stealing tax gold

[Robert Croson, Jr]

I've never played an infiltrator, so I'm asking for some advice, and wondering if 
this could possibly be a bug.

One of my characters is the ruler of a realm that has a very rich city. For the 
past 5 days, an infiltrator has been trying to break into the tax vaults. Our 
entire army is sitting in the city. We've had hundreds of troops patrolling 
streets.

The infiltrator has tried to steal tax gold *14 times* in the past four days. (A 
turn or two ago, they hit and failed 6 times in a row!) I've been using the 
Secret Police, nearly every turn, and it's always been the same infiltrator. They 
have not been successful this week, but they have also never been captured, 
and not even identified.

(In the past 30 days we've had *55* cases of infils trying to steal gold. Two 
other infils were quickly arrested, after only 2 or 3 attempts each. Both of them 
were quickly executed.)

Is this normal? With the amount of troops we've been throwing into patrolling, I 
would have expected at least *some* results.

This is an ongoing problem. This particular infiltrator has been attacking us for 
the past five months. They have never been captured or even spotted while 
doing it. The only way we know who is doing it is the secret polcie.

Is this some sort of bug?

Is there anything we can do to stop it? Our infiltrators have looked several 
times, and they can never even see the enemy infil. Patrolling the streets seems 
to be of limited effectiveness. If we get enough people there, then we can at 
least stop them from being successful (usually!).

This is just ridiculous. An infil should not be able to sit there and steal gold from 
the tax vaults with impunity, at the complete lack of risk of being caught, or 
even seen.
