Re: Counter intelligence help please!
 

I use intel ALOT. This info indeed makes intel a much more vital aspect of the game (just like IRL) and much more interesting IMO. Think of what the US spends each year on counter-intel and what would happen if they did not!

For other players that don't use intel, will there be / is there now an option to turn it off?? (I have my full Version, but I just haven't had the time to scope it all out yet - I sure will this weekend!!)

Also, you can use the "Sabotage Intel" operation to target a specific empire.

You have to use the icon with the Alien face ( relations screen ). In there is a bar for intellegence. Click on it and you can chose the various intellegnce operations that you can do at your current research level, including counter-intellengence.
