I've been trying to spy a player for several days. 8 MilSab spies in a random empty province. However, after 5 days of trying I've not got a single reveal and I've lost 8 spies.
This has never happened before. So I was wondering if there is a counter to players trying to get the reveal? Clearly this guy doesn't know where I'm about to spy so there's no way he's put counter espionage spies in the province I'm targeting.

If you put spies on intel mission they could give the location of that playerβs spies. You would then have to put CI spies in those providences and hope they donβt move them. I always move mine. Are you moving yours?
Another possibility is he could be golding your intel before day change and putting CI spies where you have your spies. Iβve never heard of this, but I suppose itβs possible, in theory.
You could just be getting unlucky, but the odds are low.

There's probably a building in the province you had your spies in...From experience I can tell you that that is the most likely case

or he read the newspaper, and found where your spies are that way. If you did not move them that's the posibility

I always move my spies around every day. I've lost spies every day and failed every time. There's no way he could know where I put the spies.

And definitely no buildings in the provinces I place them.
I've checked and tried again. Which is why there is something that I don't know to counter the attempts.

Maybe you didn't have enough money and all the spies defected?

You may also want to consider putting your spies in different providences, just one per. I donβt know why, but I found I have better results this way.

The only way I know of countering a Military Sabotage Spy is by placing a building in each province.
Another way could be to have 'a large number of Counter Espionage Spies' in your Capitol. I need to test this theory though.

I would really like to know the answer to this...
I put one spy in multiple locations only to not get any results back on day change.
Is it possible that you can have 3-4 spies in an opponent's territory where he does not have either a building or a counterspy and not reveal their armies just on game play theory?

Yeah, happens fairly often. If you need their troop locations go with five or six spies.

I usually go for two provs with 4 spies each when I really want the intel... sometimes even three.
