i hate to ask but i have been told this

covert guys are offencive

anticovert guys go on the offenceive kill other anti covert guys
as well as protect your own realm from enemy covert guys

is this true??

yeah i think so but im not too sure

Search...

Lol...


Here is what your 'Normal' Covert units do:
1. The Recon
2. They Sab
3. They protect agaisn't recon
4. They protect against sab

here are what 'Anti' covert units do:
1. They kill enemy spies when you attack.



The amount they kill is based on your 'Anti-covert' power, and the defenders 'normal' covert power.
Anti-covert units play NO part in protecting against other anti-covert units.

thank you see i hoped that the regular spys still protected you thanks and sorry for not searching

It's no problem,
I've typed the answer so many times I think its bored into muscle memory by now.

it seems my anti covert men are getting anhilated every time i attack. iam attacking people and losing 300 anti covert men each time, and i have 500mil anti covert action. mind you iam killing about 150 of their men. are they really nessercary?

This is the problem with Anti-coverts, basically you need to think of them like the basic soldiers for your race. When you attack your normal soldiers get joined by however many Anti-coverts you have, BUT they DO add to the total attackers and because they are effectively unarmed and normal non-super type soldiers they tend to get hit hard by the enemies normal defence soldiers.

The way Anti coverts work means they are not really worth sending against any enemies who have much defense, coz by default the defenders will take a fairly heacy toll on them. When they get PAST the defense part THEN they go and hunt enemy spys out.

Basically what i'm saying is it actually makes more sense to soften up an enemy with sabbing to remove his or her defense weapons so that when you DO attack they don't massacre your Anti-covert units as part of the normal defense.

if you don't want to loose anti-coverts when attacking and are unwilling to sab the enemies weapons away the only choice is to untrain your anti's so they don't die whenever you attack. Think of them as units for a specific purpose rather than a general "i'll just have a bunch hanging around for no real reason except they sound cool". Having a bunch of anti's trained up is only worthwhile if you actually intend to kill enemy spys are are prepared to get dirty and kill off their defenses with some sabbing. If you just want to farm for naq untrain your anti's and save yourself the annoyance of loosing some every time you attack for naq.
