i agree these shouldnt be mini-bosses, but i say that once you have -1000 align (meaning you are their enemies hero/champion/warlord) a new silent mob will hunt you for an assassin, it would have a chance of spawning near you, similar to invasions, but affected by align. the mob would have the rangers cloaking affect, not make sound, and most commonly attack at night. they would wield poisoned daggers and crossbows, using the crossbow until they can no longer (player comes within the 200% melee range). at this point they may flee, or fight with their dagger. they would have 75% health and 150% speed as compared to their normal unit, and they would where 'cloak' armor crafted with wool on a normal CT this completes what ranger armor does, and is only worn by assassins.

that should be able to take out the 'boss' aspect of it, and instead make it so that it will be slightly stronger than other units of that faction(not in damage, in attack style)
