Check right at the start of my second post in my guide in this forum. It has it all there but here we go. I'm pretty sure that you're Goa'uld and I assume that you have the maximum covert tech upgrade so...

Covert Action = KLNx2^0
Where K = Upgrade Multiplier
L = Race Bonus
N = Number of Covert Operatives
O = Spy Level

Thus
100,000,000,000 = 1.56 x 1 x N x 2^18
100,000,000,000 = 408,944.64 x N
N = 100,000,000,000 / 408,944.64
N = 244,531

Thus to have a covert action of 100 billion, being Goa'uld and sticking with your current spy level, you would have to train 244,531 spies.

I hope that made sense.

what you said made no sence to me

take your covert action and divied it by the amount of spies you have that will give you the power of one spy to find out how many spies you need for 100billion covert you just take the 100billion and divied it by the power of one spy always round it up

simple answer from a simple person

Well i know for a fact that with spy level 20 it takes 60k spies to get 100billion covert. So like Deity says you just double the number of spies and double again because you are dropping 2 spy levels essentially. So it would take in excess of 240k spies.

Ok I am posting here as to not clog up with mutliple topics. My question is how do you active Covert Action. And I know I dont have clue as to what I am talking about so I will attempt to explain. I see several users with ??? for their Naq and Army size. How do I do that to my stuff. Is it by turning on Covert action...getting X amount of spies, or what. Total noob i know...work with me. Thanks in advance.
