Counter Intel Calculation

[mbosveld]

So under this system there is "never?" any reason to invest in counter intel at a level lower than your current best level, e.g. Never spend intel points on a leel 1 op when you have the points for a level 3 op, or to invest in more that a single recurring operation.

I am curious to know if running more operations with lower points per turn helps to stop more attacks.

It does...

but in case your thinking that all counter ops will protect you... it won't. There is I believe a limit on how many operations each counter-op can counter regardless of your intel vs enemy intel...

What do I base this on?

I was a mega evil empire with excess of 1Mil intel VS 18 AI empires that when added all together had less intel than me... however they were still able to get some intel ops through. (Not just PPP either.)

However I have to add that that was with 1.02 not 1.11... havn't really checked it since then.

I know that in 1.02 that counter-intel was only effective on the turn it completed. In my current game I have been preventing all intel against me when I am at war with all 14 remaining empires and my intel points are greater than their combined total.

Thank you for the answer to my previous questions.

Does anyone know what the ratio of intel to counter intel ops is?
