Re: anticovert/covert

ok to sabb someone you need to beat their covert power. For someone to sabb you they need to beat your covert power. So basicly you can't stop someone from sabbing you unless you have more covert agents then they have trainable units.

To see what you need to defeat them divide their covert power by the number of spies they have, this tells you what 1 spys covert strength is. Then divide your own covert power by the number of spies you have. This gives you the covert strength of 1 spy.

Now simple take their covert strength and divide it by the power of 1 covert agent of yours and you know how many spies to send.

You can increase your covert power by buying higher levels. You can also AC them and kill their covert ops to lessen their covert strength.

Covert is used to sab, AC is used to kill spies.

Re: anticovert/covert

you guys do it way toooo complicated

their covert/your covert = ratio

apply ratio to amount of your spies trained then you see how many you send.

No you always get loses with successful sabotage, but not as many as failed sabotage.

Re: anticovert/covert

not really lore lmao

Cos you explained it long way. (i'm lazy person, i don't even use crappy internet calc site that's made for sgw :D, i got my own accurate and easier to modify stuff)
My way you only do 2 calculations (3 if you have absolutely no clue about mathematics)

multiply the ratio by the number of your spies mate
