Is there a difference between a scout and a spy?

Helheim doesn't need spies because they can automatically spy on provinces where they have positive dominion. Other nations have other means of "scrying" on provinces, too.

Are you sure you don't have Helheim mixed up with Arcoscephale? Scrying dominion is Arco's province, not Helheim (and I've played a fair bit of Helheim)

I haven't said that Helheim is scrying on enemy provinces, but other nations do. I believe scrying is something different than what I described, although I never played a nation who does it so I don't know for sure. Helheim can see the population, income and resources of every province where they have a positive dominion.

Everyone can see population, income and resources in positive dominion, but Arco also gets reports on army strength as if they had a scout in the province in positive dominion.

Heh, okay, I didn't know that everybody can do that. I must have had low dominion on the other games that I played and never noticed that, forgive me for being a n00b...
