Nope, it's part of the trade phase. Spies intercept the ENTIRE trade phase.

WTF? No! Espionage does not obsolesce the Horse.

Don't argue with he game master.



By the way, I think that clarifcation on the trade was made in response to a question I posed him. Believe me, it's good this way.

3. Trojan Horse- you get a spy every turn before Espionage (#7), and one extra after

Oh, looking at the turn summary it seems you where trying to do what I asked him about.



Maybe you're right about the Trojan Horse, but "and one after" isn't very clear.

I guess it could mean either;

1) You keep geting spies from it after the discovery of espionage (but then why mention it?)

2) You get a single spy when that technology is reached (doesn't make much sense)

3) that you don't recieve a bonus spy and can only get one a turn. (This doesn't take into consideration that the player might not be the first to reach espionage technology - or perhaps the trojan horse was not intended to 'expire' untill the controler got the tech?)

Smiley wrote these rules.... let's ask him.

[Kuciwalker]

It says "one extra after". That would rule out your third option.

[Gamecube64]

Horse fixed, it gives a spy every turn and once you get tech 7 you get 2 spies a turn, not obsolesce.

But he's still under Despotism, and thus can only collect taxes from a maximum of 6 cities only...

That's good. I wasn't exactly comfortable with him bordering me...

[Gamecube64]
