Intel: I'm Stumped

[Stone Mill]

Thanks for the insight, gentlemen.

Could you clear this up as well:

1. Does an Intel III defense project defend against Intel II and Intel I projects?

2. When Intel Projects expire, are all points for that project simply lost?

3. Does the defender see the point reduction in his Intel defense project?

It seems that if #2 is true, you should avoid letting your projects expire like the plague... You could start distributing your points among projects, then allocate your points into one project at a time (new projects), keeping the "held" project alive indefinitely. Anyone use intel like this?
