I haven't seen much mentioned about espionage...I'm wondering what sorts of options we'll have in this regard, as compared to Civ3.

My understanding is that we're moving back towards the Civ2-style, where there is an actual spy unit that you move around and do missions with.
However, I'd have to ask the folks who have already played the game to be sure."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

The spy in Civ2 was hawt!First Master, Banan-Abbot of the Nana-stary, and Arch-Nan of the Order of the Sacred Banana.

I'd love to see how a Civ 2ish type of espinonage unit would work now in a Civ 4 MP game.
Plant Nukes?
Steal Tech?
Assassinate Leader? (Causing 2 turns of anarchy)

Have we seen how it looks this time around? Can't remember to be honest.Originally posted by Metaliturtle

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

I missed the Civ 2 spy. However, irc, everyone could spot them on the map. That sucked: they should be invisible to other nations, unless they invest in some tech, or have some sort of counter-spy.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

I do believe the Spy this time around is Black jumpsuit with red hair. Think Alias season 1: "Red Hair is better"Comment

So, come on Mark, can you spill the beans? What are the abilities of spy units? Are they invisble, can they destroy city improvements, (we know they can destroy tile improvements), can they stir things up in the city (cause unhappiness/sickness), can they kill great people? This is the kind of stuff I am DYING to hear about

Anything would be better than the Civ3 approach to espionage at least...

Yep. And BTW, SMAC's AI was quite capable in using spies ('probe teams')."As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesWComment
