When i'm playing and i go to the attack screen, i notice that alot of people have their army size and naquadah values hidden, while others have their values shown. What factors affect what makes it show and hidden? like what could i do to make mine hidden and to see the values of somebody else?

covert get a high enough covert. but later you cant really hide your army size form most of the people (or you have insane ammoutns of naq for the spy levels)

Train spies and buy covert (spy) lvls.
Don't buy anti-covert, that will do you no good.

Seeing the front page sats, recon, and sabbing are all determined by a comparison of you and your opponents covert power.

ah ok thanks then
i was training counter-int guys
if they dont do that, then what do they do?

When you attack someone (with AT and normal soldiers), you send your Anti-covert units along.
After the battle, they break off and try to kill enemy spies based on a comparison of your anti-covert vs their normal covert power.
They're not really usefull unless you really want to hurt someone.
