Intel Ideas

[ZeroAdunn]

Ok, so, how I understand intell is like so:

I have lets say 2K intel points in a counter intell 2 project, so therefore I really have 4k points.

Now, my apponent just completed a 5k intel project against me, since I only had 4k in defense it goes through and does damage.

Now, however, lets say may apponent only finishes a 1k intel project, it therefore is defeated by my intel project correct?
