Game definition of infiltration please?

[Arcainite]

Under Data Angels it says "Gains any technology known to three other infiltrated factions (constant spying)."
Ok, now what do I need to do to have infiltration, just be within their territory at all?

Hmmmm. I think that you have to probe the first three factions. But I've only played the Angels ONCE so I wouldn't really know. You'd probably have to wait for Data Angle fans to reply.....sorry.

You have to create a probe team and move it to within contact of an enemy (or even friendly base) and then you'll get the list of covert ops. You need to perform infiltration on 3 factions, any tech they now all have that you do not you instantly gain knowledge of.

Infiltration - You can see what each base is producing, the lab and energy output of the faction as a whole aswell as seeing what techs the faction has and what its researching. Really useful.

ps, arci i wouldn't try and probe me in the game we're playing as my defenses are almost done and i won't be too pleased to see probes coming anywhere near me

If you have the Empath Guild, that infiltration would be automatic remember. Same if you're Governor. As the Angels, you should try for at least one of these, both if possible (Simply as a backup in case of potential consequences of other actions of course). That ability's not so useful to humans in SP, since you're usually far ahead in tech, but in MP, well, you'd hardly have to worry about Research at all.
