From the IntelProjects.txt:

Counter Intel Project 3:

"Effect Amount := 3"

This multiplies all defensive intel points of the counter intel project 3 three times!

I thought that meant that the single project could block up to but no more than 3 projects!

This has been debated before; no-one (that I recall, at least) has come up with conclusive proof of either effect.

I tested this extensively and the effect is indeed a multiplication of the defensive intel points. But try it in a test yourself!

Hehehe.... maybe that's the whole purpose of Intel/CounterIntel. Smoke..mirrors & illusions.

What would be excellent is someone consolidating this info (from this thread and some older ones on intel) and posting it on "Questions for Newbies."

Maybe I will take a crack at it, but I'd need help from the big guns in here.

Another thing... Is there any list of the concrete effects of the intel missions? ...Something more than the very general description that the game gives you for each offensive project.

Look in IntelProjects.txt in the Data folder.

Has anyone thouhgt of simply asking Aaron about this? I am sure he would tell you.

If we did that then what would we have to debate about

I'll take your word for it. I've discovered that I really dislike playing test games just to doublecheck something.
