Emperor Badger Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 So people don't spy away your shiny investments (nukes). Also usually prevent random mischief from spy attacks being conducted upon to your nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC123 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Spies are an incredibly valuable asset. Read this: http://www.cybernations.net/about_topics.asp#Spies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth Shaker Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 So people don't spy away your shiny investments (nukes).

Keeping 750 spies is IMHO mandatory (with CIA of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3000 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 so people don't take and destroy your stuff and you can help destroy theirs. For example, before tech raiding you should use a gather intelligence operation to see if the potential target has a warchest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haflinger Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'm agree with the gentleman. Keeping 750 spies is IMHO mandatory (with CIA of course) The maximum spy count with a CIA and 5 intelligence agencies is 800. 50 - basic spy allotment that all nations have 5x100 - each intel agency allows another 100 spies 250 - the CIA allows an extra 250 spies A small nation with a CIA and no intel agencies can have 300 spies. The CIA makes spies "hit" as though you have 10% more of them. 330 undetectable spies in a smaller nation can really surprise opponents very dramatically.

Not very surprising, considering he can check spy odds before even declaring war. Edited September 10, 2009 by Viluin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who this affects are typical 10K raiders who just declare war and then a couple hours later start bawwing about being stuck in DEFCON 4 and getting quadded.
