Spies Design Overhaul: Deployment by Nation & can Gain Experience,

Spies can be very useful in S1914 but aren't very realistic. I think they need to be completely overhauled/redesigned. A shortlist of the changes I think are needed:

1. Experience Gain: A ubiquitous 50% success rate is kind of dumb/lazy. Spies should be able to improve and gain experience and have a success chance based on this (and other factors as mentioned here).

2. Country-level Deployment: Spies should not be deployed at the province level; they should be deployed by country.

3. Update Available Spy Actions: Once deployed spies should have a list of available actions such as:

• building a spy network (this would serve to improve spy success chances in general in this nation)
• monitoring communications/diplomacy
• sabotaging infrastructure in certain provinces (this is already doable)
• revealing armies (number of revealed armies should be based on success chance and skill of the spy)
• counter-espionage in own and in allied nations. This way you could assist your allied with espionage
• Disrupt unit orders. Assign your spy to disrupt/change the orders your enemy is giving to their troops
• create disinformation: you should be able to have your spies feed disinformation to foreign spies
• Assassinate foreign leaders: this is part of another change I want that adds in faction characters such as army commanders, governors, government ministers, etc. but that's for another post.
• Recruit foreign officials (again dependent on adding in characters to the game)

4. Make spies named characters with stats and traits (part of my recommendation to add in a variety of characters to the game.
