Subject: Spy Operation Attack

Message: A spy operation has been launched against your nation. In the attack the enemy spies targeted your population and managed to incite new government propaganda. In the attack your counter spies managed to kill 5 enemy spies and your attackers identity has been publicly revealed.

Well at that time I didn't have any spies. Not that I'm complaining, but thought I'd point it out.

He could have forged it. Did you report it in-game?

No it wasn't forged, he successfully changed my government preference. I was online when it happened - re-buying troops lol.

I see. It's a simple spelling mistake then, lol.

Spelling mistakes aside, it still appears he has five less spies, killed my my spies; which I didn't have.

happened to me on SE once. it just happens. if your threat is like high and stuff and they fail, well they still lose spies
