how can u fail if he has 0 spies?
i can see having some sort of DR. but if the target has 0 spies, you should never fail imo. how do his non-existent operatives stop yours?

We started with a set of principles and created a spy operation success formula based on those principles. One of those principles was that a country should never have a 100% chance of successfully carrying out a spy op. Against countries with 0 spies, the chance of failure is very low (less than 5%).

We are currently reviewing that formula.

Plus, there's always that chance of your spies defecting to the other country...

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

Regular private citizens can't expose enemy agents? Total population should factor into the equation somehow too.

And, Monsters, do not forget to specify, when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.

not sure what your saying here, cause even if u fail 200 they dont gain any...

but it gets to the point where there was a few of us CD on a target with 0 spies for rediness.
but his "spies" would stop like 9/10 attempts. we would never LOSE any spies, just says " you lost 0 spies"
so its not a huge deal there. but its still stupid that u can fail when he has 0 spies.

also, selling spies on public would be epic,. like a merc army haha
