Just got an issue of Whispers in the Wood, and it said some things about how it
was changing the rules on agents a bit.  And I quote:  "agent actions will still
be used to great effect, but now many of them will be riskier than they were.
There will be more chances for the agent to be injured, captured or killed
while performing those actions.  . . . Agents guarding will now also be more
effective and survive failures more often.  Also, the sabotage fortifications
and ports/harbors orders will be modified by the level of the target involved.
 . .  Overal difficulty will remain as listed in the rulebook."

Emissaries got changed too.  "Certain emissary actions will now be easier to
carry out.  Again, specifics are left to be discovered during play.  The 525
order will now report the current loyalty level, regardless of success or
failure, in general terms--i.e. average, below average, etc.The 500 order
should be somewhat easier also.  The 948 order can now be given from either the
capitol or the origination hex."

hope this info is helpful . . .
