I'm more concerned with Counterfeit Harems.

Bishops destroying a Chapel.  Also, Counts, who are lower-ranking nobility than Dukes, somehow have Duchies to distribute.

Fortress is a great defense against individual enemies--the Knights, Swindler, Saboteur, Rogue--but not against massed enemies--Goons, Militia, Mercenary, Followers. You'd think that the reverse would be true, where a lone spy could sneak into a fortress but a large army could not.

(Yeah, I know the edge cases: it actually makes sense that a Fortress can't stop magic attacks (Witch etc), and it also can't protect against Cutpurse--but throw me a bone here).

What if it's like an Ocean's Eleven kind of thing? Or some kind of siege?

With one person, the operation is over once they are caught and killed. Just consider how many respawns B.J. Blascowitz needed to escape/raid Castle Wolfenstein. However, Spy is covert enough to do his job on the Fortress.
