That aspect of diplomacy has yet to be implemented.

Or, to put it another way, assassins only work against commanders when they are in a city. The only diplomats that work on non-city squares are scouts, spies and messengers. Thieves, assassins and saboteurs can only be used on player cities at this time.
Edit: Other diplomat types may receive reports from non-city "mystery" locations such as the fortune teller, Rift, Fortress of Shadows, etc.

Thanks, I didn't remember if assassination had finally been implemented outside cities (with the possibility to bring diplo units with armies). Now I know that I can stop that diplo production and go for something else ;)

@Rill: what can spies accomplish against field encampments?

Well while this isn't exactly what you mean. Spies have a farther diplo view distance so sending them to a square with an army gives further range to see nearby camp sizes.

What Gon said. You can attach either scouts or spies to an army and park it near a square to provide diplo visibility.

So there is no direct use of spies against encampments.
All diplo units have a radius, even messengers. Most aren't worth mentioning, except scouts and spies.

Thieves, sabs and assassins do not have diplo visibility. Neither, to my knowledge, do messengers.

You can spy an encampment. Whether it works depends on whether the encampment has it's own defensive spies attached to the armies etc.

Spies on encampments are a waste.
Spying a map feature might generate a useful report.
Use Scouts on encampments to learn about the troops present.
Attach spies to encamping armies for 4 sq diplo visibility.
