Yeah, not like that had anything to do with them stating an intention to nuke us or anything. No, it was clearly out of the blue as you imply.

We don't do nuclear first-strikes, but we don't hesitate to defend ourselves to our fullest capability when such is threatened.

We didn't intend to do ANYTHING until you started the war. And NpO started with the nukes. So spin it any way you want, the facts remain. WUT started the war, WUT nuked first.

[Spies Input]

I haven't read the whole thread, sorry if any of this is a repeat.

I see this as a very expensive addition to the game. Potentially 550 spies, at 100K each. Then, you can get 20 destroyed ($2M worth of damages right there). Plus the expense of the actual attacks? Plus, the new technology & land race to have better spying capabilities... I think it's an interesting feature but the cost levels are just too high, especially for the smaller and medium nations.

One possible mitigation is narrow the attack/defending range to less than the war ranges - maybe +/- 25% NS. Or lower the cost of each spy to $10K each, or the maximum number of spies that you can have to 25 + 10 per intelligence agency.
