Dumbluck,

Thanks for the links.

So, if I understand correctly, I have to spend more points on aggressive intel projects than my opponent has accumulated in counter intel. Once that happens, my projects should largely succeed, as long as I am still spending more on offence than he is on defence. Once in a while, one will fail if he has been focusing on counter intel.

It also strikes me that you need a fairly big advantage in this area if you want to get anywhere and you have to keep hitting the same target for a long time. Splitting your efforts against multiple enemies will reduce your rewards. It also seems to me that even a race who doesn’t intend to use intel is well advised to get the tech and build a few facilities, if only to build up a large number of counter intel points and ruin the first couple of attacks.

Would it be fair to say if both my ally and I are using aggressive intel against the same enemy, we will burn up his accumulated points faster?

Please let me know if this information is correct or not. I have sunk a fair bit into intell and want to use it well. You can read that as, I have a problem and need a lot of help!
