can someone post a link to a sab calculator. I used magical search and couldn't find one. This would also make a helpful sticky. Personally when i first started the game i had no clue about how many spies to send. Ahh the good ol days.

I usualy just calculate covert power, then find the minimum spies needed.
The strange thing about sabbing is 20 spies are often jsut as effective as 13K.
But a calc would be handy. Anyone got one?

the sabb calc is wrong only use it if you think the player is on critcal
just use the old way of doing it
recon them get there amount of spies and covert level
take there covert level say its 16 with 10k spies and half for every level you are above them and double it for every levl they are above you
you have level 19 so you half there amount of spies 3 times
5k
2.5k
1250= the amount of spies you send to sabb a player with level 16 and 10k spies when you have level 19 anyone who does'nt understand that is welcome to pm me and i'll try and explain it alittle better
i sabb alot

You don't get anything for using more Spies to sabb than you need to, right? Just use the optimal amount and repeat, based on that formula.

When reconning, if you can see thier army size and naq... then send all your spies to recon. It is guaranteed successful.
If you get a bunch of ??? - I wouldn't try to sab them.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! That sab calculator saved probably 500 spies today!! With how valuable UU is today you have saved me from a huge expense. This ought to be put into the Diety's Guide. Again thank you very much!

Whatever happened to taking 7500 as the base level and just doing it with pen and paper?
Now you all are going automated...
Nice job however
it's much faster at determining who I can't sab
