Revolutionary spying tactic

- 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 ?

What is revolutionary herE?:))) It is a well known tactic that has been used for a long time

Yes, this will give the spies only one option.

This does not, however, force them to succeed at said mission.

Free Time looks good on me

I find spies are most likely to do a full army reveal the day after an ally conquers the province with my spy in it, thus revealing my ally's army. :whistling:

well I have been using it for a while, but no one ever spoke about it ( in the chat nor in the forum ), so how am I expected to know that people are already aware of it ?
