![]() Other than this I try to get map information from friendly nations as much as possible. I send these little blokes off all over the world, as once they are in place they will live a full and happy life usually, and I know what's what and I make fat piles of gold into the bargain. To use a merchant you just get him to stand on one of those trade resource things that appear on the map, he then sends you the money home from it. I find merchants best for this as they make more money the further away from your cities they are and they gain experience just from doing their job, which in itself is neither dangerous nor an act of war. If you've got the time and the energy (which granted you don't really need in the easier difficulty settings) then you can get a great understanding of what's what by using this yourself. The thing is if you look how the computer plays it there are agents all over the place keeping an eye on you (one of the main reasons I have my assassins work overtime), the computer will have priests, spys, emissaries, princesses and merchants all over the place nosing around.
