Oh my!  Well, that's a scenario error but it stands.

Whose followers best take down the crime boss?

[Magnamax]

I'm going with a bunch of Irish warriors as being able to take down a crime boss pretty well. The Dagda supports his warriors and can bring them back, so he's well positioned to win over the greeks.

I really don't know much about the Dagda but I do think the followers of either could very well do this. Also, just hilarious that they pull this mission lol.

In a straight up fight, Dagda's followers probably do better. But this mission can be done just as if not more efficiently through stealth, and I think followers of the hunt Goddess may be able to do this without the casualties that Dagda's followers will take.

I think it's far more likely that warriors are going to be better at storming a Mob Boss's hideout than hunters are going to able to stealthily take it down. Hunters are good at stalking deer in the woods, it doesn't mean they can infiltrate a mob base.

 

All in all, kind of glad this was the scenario? Shakes it up a lot.

Far more likely? Disagreed.

You know, just seems to me most of the time when it comes to taking down a heavily fortified base, the stealth approach is the better one than kicking down the front door and charging in. Both could take it down, but one is just less risky and more tactically sound.

There's no given that hunters are actually going to be able to do that sort of thing. Just because they can hunt deer for food doesn't mean they can sneak around and subtly take out trained mob henchmen. The Dagda represents strength and wisdom, it actually makes a lot more sense that warriors would come up with a plan of attack (whether it be brute force or a stealth attack), rather than hunters, used to hunting something that won't shoot back. 

The idea that hunters are superior at stealth attacking seems like a stretch.
