Gold Demo Counter-Intel

[Mark Dey]

I just went to the intel screen in the .99 Demo and the counter-intel ops are 10 times as much! What gives?

Counter-intel seems to be an ongoing thing, meant to be run concurrently with offensive operations.

IOW, you aren't really suddenly establishing a fence when you complete the project. Instead, you are continually devoting that much time and resources (intel points) to counter-intelligence operations, and those operations are in place as soon as you start the project and Last until it is finished.

I know that the few times I've had enemy nations use intelligence ops against me, they were being stopped by my counter-intelligence all the way through the "development" time for the counter-intel project.

I think all they've really done is make it so counter-intelligence programs are being run longer by default.

In the .56 demo, my counter-intel projects never stopped an enemy attack until they were finished. This makes sense, otherwise, if they stopped enemy intel ops during their production, I'd just have 4 of each level of counter-intel going at once and split the points between them. That approach would completely secure me from the AI's attacks.

If they work like they used to in the .56 demo (and I can't see why they'd change) then they are now super-high cost and that really needs to be fixed.

The answer was already posted. The counter-intel ops work the whole time now, not just when they are complete.

These are not a guarantee that no projects will work. It depends on how many operations are going against you.

Hey there, Mark. Did your change of station go okay? Still play EFS?

You'll like this game. Evidently the demo is a little buggy, but the one the beta testers are working with is running like a champ.

Hopefully, we can game together some in this.

EFS? Emperor of Fadding Sun?
A game with a lot of good ideas, but pathetic AI!
I regret the day when I sent the purchase order to chip&bits...
