Cloaking one's army size/naq
I don't think this was asked already, but lately more and more people have been masking their army size, particularly those that i would be capable of picking naq from, how? It's SOOOOO annoying.

Are you refering to getting ???? on spy reports?
If so they have raised their covert power. Either with more men or higher levels. All you need to do is increase yours as well.

sorry, i don't think i was clear, at one point i was able to read the army rankings, and even in my own officers the covert capacity hasn't risen, but yet it still remains "???" unless i go to officer view. Not in the spy views, but just in the attack page.

ok, I dont remeber the % but its something like if they have 5 times your covert you cant see their naq and at 10times your covert you cant see their army size.
Something like that. Its still tied to covert strength, yours vs theirs.

Re: Cloaking one's army size/naq
Lore's right.. so if you cannot see what you could see before..
You either lost spies yourself, robbing you of your intel abilities; or you rose in rank, getting in the higher spheres where people generally are.. better.
What is your covert power, just asking? Somewhere around a few billion, hundred billion, trillion? What order of magnitude are we thinking?

If you have 1/5th of their covert you can see their army size.
If you have 3/5ths of their covert you can see their army size and naq.

Re: Cloaking one's army size/naq
When you spy on someone, do you sometimes lose? If so, then some of your spies will be killed, gradually decreasing your spy power, which will explain why you can see less and less.
