- Most of us use spies for 2 purposes
1 . Intercepting messages, trades between players
2 . Revealing all enemy units
for the 1st point I can not really help you
but if your objective is to find the best path in order to invade your neighbor, then I might just have what you need :
Alert : ALL THE FOLLOWING IS PURELY HYPOTHETICAL, RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL TESTS WILL COME SOON ( I guess )
- we all know military sabotage spies are the only ones able to reveal enemy positions, but what we do not know is will it happen ? or will we have to wait for 17 days before discovering it. This is due to the variety of missions military spies accomplish : destroying enemy buildings, revealing intel about enemy troops in the selected province, sabotaging enemy units ... then revealing all troops.
- PROBLEMATIC : how to make a spy seek for enemy positions rather than putting some Dynamite in a level 1 barrack ?
- HYPOTHESIS : what if there are no buildings in that province ? nor troops ? what if it is EMPTY !
According to my reasoning, a spy can only destroy existing buildings and military infrastructures, it can collect intel about military presence in the selected province IF there are some military units in it, putting 2 spies in an EMPTY, WORTH LESS ( 0vps town) with no production province will force the spies to proceed with the only think they can still de : reveal all enemy troops
will it need time ? probably yes, but definitely less than the usual.
EXPERIMENTS HAVE ALREADY STARTED
So ? what do you think ?
