hm4a1 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) As a few of you may have noticed spies are now open for purchase! Unfortunately for me, I sent all my money into an AID chain without checking first.. DAMN IT ARGHH!!!! O.K. this should be the first Spy discussion thread since their opening so lets discuss here people! I will buy one or two tomorrow and put in some of my own feedback then. But let me be the first to say: "Great work Kevin!". Discuss... Edited September 28, 2007 by HM4A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopt Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 For me, spying is way too expensive to be useful, and defending against spying will almost certainly cost much more than the damage spies could do to me. That will change as I get bigger though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozalia Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 For me, spying is way too expensive to be useful, and defending against spying will almost certainly cost much more than the damage spies could do to me. That will change as I get bigger though. It costs 55 mil to get max spies . I think the price should be decreased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok yer, but I think spies are meant to be a unit for the larger and richer nations, giving younger nations something to work for and look forward too.

shopt Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'm not saying they are meant to be for young nations, I'm just saying that the best thing I can do at the moment is to set threat level to low and ignore spies. As I grow, spies will become more useful for their price. And rozalia, it isn't all or nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Has anyone use gather intelligence yet? I want to know what kind of info you get. # Gather Intelligence (See money reserves, non-secret trade partners, etc...) = $200,000 + (1 x enemy nation strength) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SovietNoob Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 It's 5M to max spies, not 55?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopt Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Every intelligence agency raises the cap by 100 spies (or $10m). So with 5 agencies, you can have 550 spies = $55m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SovietNoob Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Oh, I see. What's the point of multiple spies? Higher success rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvnrooron84 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 How do we search for Spy Attack Logs? ie, unsuccessful Spy Operations which leads to the attacking nation's identity being exposed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopt Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 @rvnrooron84:In world statistics->exposed spy operation (http://www.cybernations.net/all_spies_information.asp) @SovietNoob: Multiple spies increase your chance of success and chances of defending against spies.

Reformentia Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) At the current price structures I don't see spies being useful. Ever. At all. Everything costs far, far more than it's worth with the one single possible exception of Intel gathering. And that's only potentially useful for two pieces of information provided, the rest are pointless. If I ever think it's a good idea to spend a quarter million dollars (ON TOP of the initial spy purchase cost of course) to possibly destroy 10 grand worth of enemy tanks for example, somebody please have me committed.

MegaVolt Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Spies have the ability to change the desired religion. When I build the Great Temple wonder, my people always desire the religion I set. How do these two work together? Does the religion change have no effect when a temple is built? Or does it screw up the effect of the temple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian9824 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Anyone here willing to participate in some spy games with me starting tomorow?
