Can't do anything without ID's guys. Provide them, and I can fix you up.

Ok, so my defensive weapons came back after buying more to replace them, and now half of them disappeared again. My ID is 30899.

Warned about working on Weapons, take risks if you keep doing things. Refunded for 'disappearance' I was able to verify.

All failed recon operations are in fact properly calculated. What is the logic you use to decide you can in fact spy them? The math is simple; if the Attacker's covert power < ((Defending covert power - 100) / ((Attacker Covert level + 2)/2)), it fails and you lose spies.

Thanks for fixing the issues so quickly!

my ID is 30872
and i was trying to spy Lord sneed who is someone i know irl who called me and told me his covert was 10,500 while when i tried spying him while i had 7,700 which doing your calculation you gave, my covert should've been able to see him

Yeah I had just panicked at the time and tried to fix it before the end of the that turn and then didnt realize they disappeared until after you made the mention that you were in the process of fixing.

Can everyone else only buy 1 cov/ac level?
Does everyone elses training page come up with to tabs saying 'Not wise enough. Try ascending'?

yes this is due to the era being ascension so if you read for every ascended level you increase you gain 3 levels of both covert and anti covert

Just out of curiosity, can we no longer base doing a successful reconcile on the fact that we can see the persons money and army size like before? I just lost Hella units spying someone I could see completely on the attack page.

Another weird thing, based on my calculations, when i increased my covert tech by 5%, it only increased my covert by 0.4%. I based the calculation by dividing my current covert by 1.3 to get what my base would be before the 30% increase from tech, and then determined what percentage the increase I got was of that base number. My ID again is 30899.

Never mind, I redid the calculation, though it still seems that the covert powers are growing faster than they should be.

Not sure about the calculations, but I think people keep failing even with visible naq/army sizes is probably because we only have level 1 covert, instead of the usual 5-10ish or something.
Btw I had max realm alert there, maybe that's what made the difference.

Yeah, your right about the levels, I figured that out after I posted the first time and then went back and recalculated. It just really caught me off guard, I new you had a little higher covert than me before I went to bed, just didnt expect it to be that much higher 5 hours later, it had to have been your alert level.

I am looking at my covert power and going through the calculations to see if the covert is right because when I use the covert tech enhancements it does almost nothing to the power

Covert techs do not add to covert power.

Covert Enhancements Mobile Rings << should add 20%, but does not add to power.
