Long Range Wepons

[Doc Weasel]

We are not playing a gold game (our next will be)

Thanks DirectorTsaarx for clarifying how it works (we were narrowong it down as best as possible, but being htat we are currently at woar, it's hard to get, and give to much information)

And people will do whatever they can to get a win in the win column...

I usually build up my storage and then change to offensive intel and only need to worry about it if my Counter-intel starts to get low.

It could be a new feature of Gold that you need to keep spending points on at least one counter-intel project to have the protection; I know Intel is one part of the game that's required a fair amount of tweaking since the initial release. Especially since no-one completely understands how it works (except Aaron, of course...)

Counter-intel is pretty strong, in my opinion. I typically build about 10 or so intelligence facilities (operating at 80% as per race characteristic) and fire up a counter intel project. That seems to stop about 2 intel attacks per turn, maybe more.

...Or maybe Aaron Doesn't know how it works! Perhaps someone from the CIA, FBI, or the now defunct KGB broke in and stole all his notes on how the system works, and the code is so complex that he cannot figure it out by reverse engineering...

Well, okay, maybe not, but it would explain why the intel system is unexplainable
