I'm at Tutorial - Bridge.
I try to occupy enemy's TCs. I have a Swordsman, when 'clicking' on the unit it only shows a red target on the TC, meaning I can only attack it, not occupy it. Why is it so ?
When I attack the TC it doesn't affect the TC and my Swordsman gets injured.
I haven't found any help in the doc.

Because someone is inside tc. You must kill all units inside tc to capture it.

Indeed. I attacked a couple of times and now I can occupy the TC.
How do you see how many units are in an enemy TC and what is their health?

Well, you can't. That's part of the beauty of this game.

Just imagine why, and you'll get many reasons.
Or... Someone might just say it.

Actually... There is one way to see units in enemy tc and other buildings.

If you put assasin unit near tc or any other enemy building you can look into that tc/building as into your own.

In aof shade of undeads also is able to do this.

Does that still work. I thought it got removed.

Why should it?
It is one of features of assasin.
He has 4 features:
1. Oneshot any unit/building at cost of own life;
2. Steal random tech from enemy when he is near his/her tc at cost of own life;
3. Spy into buildings;
4. Disrupt production in tc (resets it) at cost of own life.

Ofc other features usually are not used just because you can oneshot any unit but they are still there.

2. actually stealin tech doesnt cost life, and spy can do 2, 3 and 4

It still costs life usually. Enemy can on its turn easily kill him.

If stealing failed one would usually disable TC instead of letting it b killed next turn
