I don't agree, the information index says new level randomly chosen. A successful outcome should always cause SOME change to DEFCON, a failed mission should cause no change.

Perhaps something like... If spy mission succesful then: 10% chance it goes to current DEFCON level +1 20% is goes to current DEFCON level +2 30% chance it goes to current DEFCON level +3 40% chance it goes to curent DEFCON level +4 If the new DEFCON value exceeds 5, then it just goes to DEFCON 5 So; - If your enemy is in DEFCON 4, if you suceeded, there would be a 100% chance it goes to DEFCON 5 - If your enemy is in DEFCON 3 and you succeeded, there would be a 10% chance it goes to DEFCON 4, and 90% it goes to 5 - If your enemy is in DEFCON 2 and you succeeded, there would be a 10% chance it goes to DEFCON 3, 20% chance it goes to DEFCON 4 and and 70% it goes to 5 - If your enemy is in DEFCON 1 odds as per above.

Hmm, interesting, okay well I guess some extra clarification then, for each of the 10+ times I have Defcon spied, or been spied in the past fortnight, while in Defcon 1, it has been changed every time to Defcon 4. Has anyone else had it go from Defcon 1 to anything other than Defcon 4?

That is what I am saying, it is supposed to be random but it doesn't appear to be, more than ten times in the past 10 days I have done this spy op or had it done to me, and every single time, it has changed it to DEFCON 4. If it is truly random, the odds of doing 10 DEFCON spy attacks and it coming out to DEFCON 4 ten consecutive times is terribly small, something like a 0.00001% chance.

Not sure if this has been brought up previously. From the CN Information Index: Change DEFCON Level (New level randomly chosen) = $150,000 + (5 x enemy nation strength) The new level chosen, to me, does not seem randomly chosen, in my current wars, I have either done this spy attack or had it done to me at least 10 times, and every time that it succeeded, the new level chosen was DEFCON 4.
