hey, when I try to attack city with thief it enters without doing anything and then can only steal plans or sabotage production (I remember was with assasin in the past so that I didn't upgrade stalkers when available, as I wanted to keep unit capable of attacking cities without declaring war), and ambusher attacks city, anyone knows why? is it different type of criminal, or I should press something like status surprise, or use some specific promotion?

Not all HNs are criminals, some represent "special ops" equivalents (game term is "strike team"). I'm pretty sure there is no way for criminals to attack into cities in peacetime (I don't remember whether war makes a difference). I'm also pretty sure there is no way for ambushers to enter cities without attacking.

Correct - criminals can't attack cities during war either.
