Well, I don't want to turn this into a thread about the plusses or minuses of intel. The problems with the system are well documented. Personally I think it's part of the game. But as Nodachi says if you don't like it you can try to get some agreement from you opponent not to use it. If you can't though I don't forsee removing intel from by default. So if you are going to be part of KOTH it's something that might come up from time to time. It's all part of being a well rounded galactic Emperor.
