Era 	Combat Strength	Ranged Strength
Classical 	28 	40
Medieval 	36 	48
Renaissance	48 	60

The and yields of Anansi's Tricks start at 60 and 50 (respectively) and increase by 30 per era.
Anansi's Tricks works regardless of who owns a resource. While it does generate if used within the territory of a major civilization (15 per use, regardless of whether the resource is improved or not), a strong strategy is to send him into the territory of someone with whom you have Open Borders and remove key resources, crippling their cities while reaping strong yields at the same time. On the other hand, a safer strategy that doesn't generate is to send him to resources that are right next to an enemy's borders and destroy them before they get subsumed into the enemy's territory.
Anansi's Tricks cannot be used in territory owned by an Ally, but it can be used in territory owned by a city-state of which you are Suzerain. If Anansi is the first Hero you recruit, this ability can single-handedly provide enough to unlock Political Philosophy (giving you access to the first Tier 1 governments).
=== Bugs ===
Using Anansi's Tricks on a tile with an Industry or Corporation will remove all benefits and prevent that type of Industry from being rebuilt. Removing the improvement beforehand will circumvent this issue.
