For some time now, I have been training one of my characters as an infiltrator. He is now at ~80% Infiltration and ~80% Swordsmanship. When war came, I sent him into action. His first trip out, he stole 17 gold from one region and then killed some militia in another region (using the safest "kill militia" option). He was then caught by patrols at turn change. He escaped and on his second trip out he moved into an enemy region, spent one turn there without making any hostile actions and then was caught by patrols at turn change.
Is this experience typical for an infiltrator supposedly at high expert level? If so, it seems an extraordinarily poor return on the thousands of gold and months of real time put into the training.
How many enemy units were in the region?
Did your infiltrator have any troops of his own?
