I am curious about how intel actually works. My intel projects in PBW are always blocked - probably by a defensive counterintelligence three project. Is there any way around that without having to use the "Taera solution." I'm guessing that there must be, because one of my planets just rebelled, and I do have a counterintel three project running. Do I need to be running counterintel one and two as well?
