Does anybody know any of the math behind espionage probabilites?
I am trying to win my first game on Deity, I am in 2nd place and generating ~600+ gold/turn but I don't have tanks yet to take enemy cities held by fortified infantry. I noticed that if you artillery the city down to size 1 with no or little improvements, they are somewhat affordable to try to buy. I have tried to take one size 1 Roman city (controlled by the Carthagian monarchy) twice by espionage and failed on "safely". Unfortunately I have lost 700 gold in these endeavours with no indication of what my chances are. Am I wasting my time?
