Gold spy

Your enemy will never know about your spying with gold.

Unless of course you mention it in public. . .

Is there a form of gold-for-espionage that reveals all of a particular opponent's messages? I'm not aware of it, if there is such a thing. If there were, I would be spending more gold than I am . . . .

I couldn't tell you how far back it is, but yes.

That actually depends. If you reveal all armies, the province you do it in, will receive damage to buildings. It is listed in the newspaper. An active player absolutely will catch this. You can fight it, by using your spies right after day change, but run the risk of doing it too soon and having things like reveal all armies reset 20 seconds, later.

Interesting WiseOdin. Naturally a regular sabotage spy will damage buildings and be shown in the newspaper. I had not considered that the gold equivalent would also.

Now the other age old dilemma of intelligence is this: If you react to intelligence your enemy might suspect that you have this information. Now at some phases of your war this isn't an issue, but you always have to be aware that revealing your knowledge can also reveal your intentions. So you run the risk revealing your intel sources and methods by acting on the intel you reveal.
