  • Yes. Revealing the nationality is random.

    ...Spying doesn't give anywhere near the diplomatic penalty you would get in civ2 or civ3. All that happens is you have a random chance to get a -1 "your spy was caught causing trouble" penalty if your spy gets caught in their territory or fails a mission... Alright. How random is this chance...


    "ESPIONAGE_SPY_REVEAL_IDENTITY_PERCENT = 25 from Global Defines --> every 4th caught spy will give away the name of his boss."

    And I think we all know which "certain game" that is

    • So we think they went ahead and tried the sabotage anyway ... doesn't bode well for continued Peace, particularly since we just painted a Hanging Gardens shaped target on our backs.

      If it was active sabotage, then they attacked our Horses (if I read the turnlog right, the Copper won't be connected until later this turn) so very pleased they failed.

      Are Spies subject to the Double-move rules? The fact that Imperio made certain to be logged in during the roll-over suggests they were actively trying to deny us access to our strategic resources for our turn, though I don't think it would have stopped completed builds, right?

      • The double move rule only applies in peace to a settler race, and we'd have the rest of T118 to switch our builds (as in the copper sabotage), so Imperio were pretty silly if they thought we'd suffer more from them acting early in the turn (in the last minutes of a turn would be worse). Imperio is clearly still gearing up for war, but let's hope this setback and our email makes them reconsider.

                    • Could Imperio's 16 unconfirmed points be for learning Machinery (and not a national wonder)? They traded Currency for Calendar with Banana.

                            I looked at the points from last turn and I am convinced Banana built themselves a national wonder. I would say either National Epic for more Pyramids-Engineers or Moai for one of their heavy-water cities (capital). Will look forward to confirmation from our scouting galley.

                            • We are lacking a bit in tech value, but make up for it with more land points.
                              The order of civs represents the rakning from T100. Clearly visible how PAL razed past Imperio, RB pulled even with Imperio and Banana managed to pass Templars.
