About any game including spying does it in some unsubstantial or even simplistic way. A bit like if we were playing Starcraft and we'd just click "send troops to attack". It would kill immersion, strategy and fun.
There is something about spying just as substantial/rational and on the field as wonders bring to a civilization, or scientists with libraries/schools, or armies moving through plains, or social system actually formed of concrete aspects (like social engeneering ).
Am I the only one to think that spying is about something substantial and fun/strategic/immersive?
What I'd like to see is an actual intelligence, not something detached as an add-on to the rest ("create spy - send spy - receive result"). They should somewhat be as the rest of the game with its true strategic coherence:
1- Send spies
2- Let them "gain territory" and control it over counter-intelligence (networking...)
3- Let them use their territory to the extent possible (missions and intel)
As simple as 1-2-3. So much strategy, fun and immersion from this, just as religion or culture is planned in Civ4. Am I the only one feeling like that about spying in games?
