Greetings! A question about espionage.

[Chronon]

I am curious about how intel actually works. My intel projects in PBW are always blocked - probably by a defensive counterintelligence three project. Is there any way around that without having to use the "Taera solution." I'm guessing that there must be, because one of my planets just rebelled, and I do have a counterintel three project running. Do I need to be running counterintel one and two as well?

You need to have many points stored in an existing counter-intel project.

Whenever an attack is attempted against you, points are subtracted from the defense project. If your points reach zero, the enemy attacks may succeed.

You must also always have points going into counter intel for it to work, just a few at the end will do.

[Fyron]

You only need points put into one CI project, and the points stored in all CI projects will be available for defense.

Aha! Thanks for the explanations everyone. Now I understand what's been happening in my PBW games.

Hmm...now that I see how it works, I realize that I'm in deep trouble in one of my games. You didn't see this post, did you Fyron?

Learning about how intel works at this point isn't going to help you any in that game.
