Espionage - How To?

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

OK

I've just gotten CIV 3 and am working out the kinks of learning a new game. (So far I've cruised through settler and warrior games albeit doing a bit of IFE in the far flung cities, so much refining of game tactics is ahead for me)I have yet to figure out how to plant a *&^%$ spy. By dumb chance I've figured out how to establish embassy's (I have to say the manual leaves a lot to be desired). To the learned members of this forum I ask

"What screen and/or how does one go about planting a spy?" and yes I have built the CIA small wonder.

Thanks in advance.

PS. Is it me or do others experience a seeming lack of shields for disbands of units in cities? If so is there a trick I am unaware of?

Double-click the Pentagon icon on the city that built the Intelligence Agency to plant spies.

Disbanding units in cities yields a few shields (less than in Civ2 though), but you can not get any shields if you're producing wealth, a wonder, or if the production box is already full.

Muchas Gracias GL. Now at least I should be able to have some intel during modern days for warring.

Thanks again. I only wish it was more clearly defined in the manual or the civolopedia.

You can access the espianoge feature by clicking on the "E" button right next to the unit sats window. That would bring up the espianoge menu.

Would also work too.

I read somewhere about "exposing a mole" as an option but where is this?

On second thought maybe I'll start a new thread....
