Yes yes i suggested this before, egsatcly what it sounds like u send in ur spies in to retrieve enemy attack logs and intel logs see who they have been spying/sabbing/raiding/attacking/...u no the good stuff.

It will just be like a normal recon sometimes u cant see all the info and sometimes the info is ???? like in a normal recon to give it some vraibility.

But as for the intel logs...if they have ???? in there attack logs you well see them as ???? too.

As for the number of spies sent omit this in these intel logs.

As for the attack logs omit the Details part and leave the rest.

Also each opertaion cost 1 Covert Capacity.

i must say that this would be a very interesting addition to the game, and it is not unrealistic, this would add to alliance attacks etc, so i am for this one!

the problem is, that you would have to create a whole new type of spying, and that may be a whole load of new coding for forum

I aslo suggested this a long (long) time ago - hopefully it will get a better response this time around.

It seems to me that this is what spying is all about - going in and retrieving documents - perhaps it should be made harder than normal reconning?

As for coding - I don't think it would be difficult to do, after all RAID was just a new form of attack.

should it be limited to the first page or all the pages should be reveal with ??? in random places

I like this idea... it would enable more people to investigate disputes instead of just he said/she said and trying to figure out which one is telling the truth.

At the same time it's a risk of somebody else finding your golden farms... lol.

no, i mean in reality governments spy on and steal documents from each other, for example the USA created the Atomic Bomb, Britain had to steal Blueprints

no it should not be limited to the first page, all records that are available to the player should be theoretically available to the spying player

however ??? should be kept in it, where ever they occur normally

also some random ones could be added in the older copies, this could be put down to wear and tear of documents etc. Also if a operation is a complete success then no or little damage, if it is barely a succes (don't know how you would define that) then some ???'s should appear, as in RL intelegence agencies will almost ALWAYS try to destroy any info to stop it falling into enemy hands

i believe that these are good enough reasons to explain the ??? marks

That is totally incorrect - follow this link as it is not relevant to the thread!

Dougy it's off topic - hence why I created the other thread, which details what actually occurred.
