[AWOIAF] TIFU by sending spies to most of the villages of The North
All 8 were promptly captured and executed. Now most of the north villages and their owning lords hate me and I can't recruit troops from them, effectively killing my Jon Snow copycat playthrough.
Was this supposed to happen? Other posts about this mod really talk up spies so I spent pretty much all of my stags, even though I was really hurting for money and men. This mod really is brutal.
Anyway now I'm just left wishing I didn't try the spies at all, because not only am I out that money, albeit small in the grand scheme, but almost the entire north despises me, effectively an **enormous** net loss. What now?
EDIT: The villages aren't even offering me tasks for them to try to build my relationship back up with them

Wasn't necessarily "supposed" to happen. I think the probability of spies being caught went up in the last patch along with the faction relation penalties if they are caught. So I think your rng just went bad I'm afraid. It's better to save them. For people you are at war with or about to be
I'm not sure of a workaround for the villages not offering you work:/
Thanks. I didn’t really mean supposed to happen, more like asking if that’s similar to other people’s experiences
Are spies even good in villages though? Because it seems like they need to survive long enough to build relation 20 times just to break even, and no matter what their adventure ends in execution and a -10 relation with the owning lord
