Intel Oddity

I emailed this to MM. Your thoughts?

Why does Economic Disruption lower enemy resource storage by 10000 points and cost 20000 intel, whereas Resource Procurement steals 10000 resource points (lowers enemy total storage and raises your own stored resources by 10000), but only costs 15000? Shouldn't it be more expensive than Economic Disruption because it does 2 things, and Economic Disruption only does one?

Perhaps disruption has a higher chance to succeed?

100% chance once past CI. All projects have a 100% except for Puppet Political Parties, which gets 50% hard coded.

Re: Intel Oddity

I agree. Procurement should be more expensive. To destroy resources, an agent could plant a bomb near a storage facility but to move resources from that planet to your own empire would be a lot more difficult

Re: Intel Oddity

Intel does seem pretty unbalanced. Either nothing gets through and you are fine, or everything gets through and you are toast.

Does anyone know if there are plans to change it in future Versions?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If all our wishes are answered then yes we will see a new Intel system with SEV.
Whether or not it will indeed change we don't know for sure yet.
But I'm sure Aaron is planning on changing it since 90% of the people that play SEIV say the Intel system isn't the best. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
