Vet Spies

RE: Family Favourites
Yes remember it all only too clearly; (Whatever happened to "Munchen Gladbook") it was on the Light Programme and I think it was followed by the Dreaded Billy Cotten Bandshow or perhaps it was the Clitheroe Kid. This was all before the entertainment tech was discovered of course.

"Family Favourites"! Used to be on Sunday mornings at about 10.30am on ABC radio. Haven't heard it for about 25 years. Sigh ...

Oh, and I never call it anything other than a wireless. I worked on a TV series set in the 1940s and the terminology stuck. "Ice chest" instead of fridge, etc.

Thank you Sydney and Vancouver - "Three Way Family Favourites" was never as good as this! (Anyone remember Family Favourites in those days of "steam" radio - or should I say wireless?)

I don't need any more confirmation.It is mentioned in Scrolls of Wisdom.

Hmmm....interesting.I can't confirm as I rarely bribe cities but it makes sense.Generally we don't need spys for the ai but I should know this for other situations.Such as the head start scenario.

eagerly awaits confirmation

Spies pay less for a city than Diplomats, and Vet Spies pay even less.

City in disorder = Revolt Cost /2
No units inside city = Revolt Cost /2
City originally belonged to you = Revolt Cost /2
Unit inciting revolt is a Spy = Revolt Cost x 0.84
Unit, etc, is a Vet Spy = Revolt Cost x 0.67

And when all else fails, don't leave home without a credit card.

Perhaps I should have known this...probably everyone else does...but Vet Spies buy cities about 20% cheaper than "green" spies.

That's how things are working out in "The AI head start challenge game"

Is this something else explained in the Strategy Guide I've never seen?
