Default Re: Intel useless?

Intel is a game of patience.

If your playing against the computer just 'null' it out and build all counter intel 3 and do not waste the time on it. ( say perhaps 5% of your facilities should be intel )

But if your playing in a PBW or the upcoming tcpip games against other players then you have to decide if you want to follow the 'null' or actively engage in the game of intel.

Intel greatest strenght is to use it against people who you are allied with, or to gang up on a mutual enemy and overwhelm their defences.

It does come down to number crunching in the end.

But perhaps some random events can be added to change the numbers game and add an element of chance into intel?
