Spying on Automatons... Beware!

OK, in the realm of stupid things Old Man Affy has done over the years this is another in the ongoing saga of Affy stupidity. ](*,)

Tonight I decided to train up a few hundred thousand extra Covert troops, jack up the Covert Technology Bonus, and then got Level 20 Covert and felt really good about my possible chances of Spying on an Automaton. Well, I threw 750K Covert troops at a Spy attempt on William, and... Blammo. Nothing, not even a peek. The Covert attempt to Spy was COMPLETELY rejected.

I also lost over 180,000 Covert troops in the process. #-o

That's right, I said 180K Covert fell in the attempt.

[ Luckily I still had my weekly bonus to use so I gained back some UU. ]

There went about 15-18% of my Army I have been working on... Oh well, someone had to be stupid enough to give it a try, might as well have been me. :smt021

I suspect it will take a player who has Level 22 Covert, with AI Race, Covert Focus, and more Covert technology bonus Tech than God of AI herself to finally have a chance to Spy on an Automaton!! :smt088

'Bad Affy' sez... "Well, with stupidity like that I don't even have the heart to pile on any more derogatory comments on the old fool!" :smt065

Re: Spying on Automatons... Beware!

I haven't been able to spy, and I have lvl 23 and tossed 1m units in
I can say you do not have to defeat them
The 2 I could see army size wise were just over 1m.
Just the stats are JACKED way up.

Re: Spying on Automatons... Beware!

Affy when you spied them did you see army size at least? or just ????? ?????

As far as im aware, if you can at least see their armysize and you send all of your spies, it should register as a success....not game to try at the moment as it sounds like it might reject you either way???

I talk in this color when corporations pay their fair share of taxes and don't evade US taxes by stashing profits overseas.

I talk in this color when the wealthiest top 1/10th of 1% don't own 50% of the nation's wealth.

I talk in this color when the wealthy, influential elites of this country don't have unbalanced influence over the economy, media, and government - allowing to regularly further their own interests.

I talk in this color when the US joins every other industrialized nation on Earth and guarantees healthcare for all people.

I talk in this color when 98% of all new income doesn't go into the hands of the wealthiest top 1%.

I am ready to agree with this statement!! :-k

These wanzkers are only there to outrank, and never to really have enough Income for us to make an issue about. Only two ways to beat them, Out Stat them, or worse, mass them down so they lose rank. One way costs NAQ with no Glory or Experience, the other costs to repair, but should gain some G&R and Military Experience.

Me, I am such a passivist when it comes to Attacking without the possibility for monetary gain of some sort...
