CouterIntel is just too powerful - as is Intel, if it succeeds. The whole system is just not good
.
This formula is the reason why you cannot succeed with intel "with a simple 400k to 600k points against 100k to 200k where most people stop".
You need about double or triple that amount, unless your enemies are AI or very dumb. 200k are more than enough to completely stop 600k, not to mention the stored points in ongoing CI projects that have to be worn down first. And there should be plenty stored CI points because what else can you do with intel points other than storing lots of them during peacetime.
