Is this true? I read that the Devs discourage this 'Powergaming' that I keep hearing about. If using Adventurers to scout is powergaming, then why isn't this dealt with yet? I should also mention that Adv being able to see info of an area steps on Infiltrator Territory (although I'm not sure about this because I'm new.) I just made my first adventurer yesterday and I was surprised I could see the nobles in the region.
It is dealt with, to an extent. Adventurers suspected of spying have been executed on both sides. Of course, in Xavax they have a chance to prove their innocence before they are killed. The "Powergaming" refers to when an advy is killed simply for being part of a family with a noble from an enemy realm with otherwise no in-game interaction suggesting that the advy in question was do anything other than hunting monsters.
