−	YMMD with that asnwer! TX	+	No one ever said leadership involves only public activities. With a state-sanctioned paramilitary thieves guild available to you, the possibilities are endless. What may not be possible through [[Relations#War|war]] or [[Mystics|magic]] may still be possible with deceit and deception. Never underestimate the power of the underground unknown.
		+
		+	Thieves are professional soldiers, trained in the arts of the elite underground and are trained on your [[Military]] Menu. They maintain a Stealth Rating which determines when they can be used. This rating rises automatically each day by 3 points and drops each time your thieves conduct an operation. Your thieves will not carry out missions without at least a 5% Stealth Rating.
		+
		+	The best measure of your guild's strength is the number of thieves you maintain per acre of land, often known as Thieves Per Acre (TPA), modified by your Thieves' Dens, your [[Science|Crime science]] and your [[race|racial]] bonuses or penalties. The success rate of your guild depends on both your and your target's TPA. The raw damage, however, is based on raw strength - the more thieves you use in an operation, the more damage they can do.
		+
		+	The larger your province, the more difficult it will be to keep your guild well-organized and efficient. As your province grows larger, be prepared to keep training additional thieves to keep your network intact and effective. Like most things in Utopia, thievery operations are easier and more effective against provinces similar to you in size.
		+
		+	Information on how to calculate thief operations can be found here.
		+
		+	Thievery operations are divided in two categories, as listed below:

		+
		+	== The Thieves' Toolbox: The Espionage Operations ==
		+
		+	The espionage operations will simply gather information regarding the enemy province. <!--Always keep in mind that the numbers displayed by these operations are not accurate and can be out by '''up to 25%'''!-->
		+	Nevertheless, sending <!--more thieves when conducting the operation will highly increase the reports accuracy-->'''5% of your thieves will return completely accurate results''' <!--(note that [[Race]]/[[Personality]] bonuses can affect this accuracy)-->.

No one ever said leadership involves only public activities. With a state-sanctioned paramilitary thieves guild available to you, the possibilities are endless. What may not be possible through war or magic may still be possible with deceit and deception. Never underestimate the power of the underground unknown.

Thieves are professional soldiers, trained in the arts of the elite underground and are trained on your Military Menu. They maintain a Stealth Rating which determines when they can be used. This rating rises automatically each day by 3 points and drops each time your thieves conduct an operation. Your thieves will not carry out missions without at least a 5% Stealth Rating.

The best measure of your guild's strength is the number of thieves you maintain per acre of land, often known as Thieves Per Acre (TPA), modified by your Thieves' Dens, your Crime science and your racial bonuses or penalties. The success rate of your guild depends on both your and your target's TPA. The raw damage, however, is based on raw strength - the more thieves you use in an operation, the more damage they can do.

The larger your province, the more difficult it will be to keep your guild well-organized and efficient. As your province grows larger, be prepared to keep training additional thieves to keep your network intact and effective. Like most things in Utopia, thievery operations are easier and more effective against provinces similar to you in size.

Information on how to calculate thief operations can be found here.

Thievery operations are divided in two categories, as listed below:
