Default Re: (Counter-) Intel question.

quote:
What if the defender has two projects going and has enough points stored between the two of them to stop the attack, but not enough in either one to stop the attack? Will the attack succeed? If not what happens to the points? Do they coem from both prohects equally or all from one and the rest from the other.
I would assume the worst, and then be pleasantly surprised .
I think depletion happens from left to right, but I haven't seen much intel action in my games.

When a counter-intel project is depleted, it stays where it is. That saves a ton of micromanagement.

quote:
If all this is correct it really is more imporant how long your projects have been going then how many points you are producing each turn.
Well, multiply the two together. Moderate points for a moderate time is better than tons of points for a short while, or a handful of points for decades.

Of course, if you produce more than your opponent(s), then it dosen't matter how long you've been storing up
