Number of spys

For newcomers to ask questions to the other users... this section will usually answer most questions... requesting resources (naq/UUs/ATs) is not to be done here...

Number of spys

Does it make a difference the number of spys I have if they have a higher covert rank than me and I try to spy on them or they try to spy on me?

if you have a higher covert then them then you will be able to see their naq if you can then spy on them with all your spys to make sure you dont fail

So the number of spys doesn't make a difference if they spy on me?

If the number of spies they (the 'attacker') send, coupled with their covert level, beats the total covert power (spies, levels and realm alert) of the 'defender' then the mission succeeds.

But of cousre jgg thats a large gamble....if you have level 16 and the other guy has 17 he has say 1k spies and you send 10k...well youd get through..but thats massive ammounts you have to send....in which case you should really not have that many for a small spy level.

It's not a gamble, I was just stating the mechanism.

so if you send all your spies on a recon and you can see both, his naq and army size, you'll get through guaranteed?

I don't believe you actually have to beat them. You can spy on people with higher covert than you and not get caught. You just won't get to see much else than ????

As soon as you build an idiot proof system, somebody else builds a better idiot.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.
