🕵️ Espionage

Spy units reveal what a target owns before you attack. Whether an espionage succeeds depends only on one comparison: your espionage attack strength against the target's espionage defense.

Only the spy units in the target's storage defend. Units the target has moved into a spy squad do not count. Spy squads have no return trip: survivors are back in their squad right after the espionage.

• Level 1: fixed defense and the units in storage. Units in troops always stay hidden.
• Level 2: additionally the buildings (without the defense buildings).
• Level 3: additionally the resources (money, stone, metal, fuel).
• All numbers in a report are distorted by up to ±30%. Exact are only your own attack strength and the target's espionage defense.
• A failed espionage always tells you the target's exact espionage defense, so you know how much you need next time.

• Failure: a message that an attempt was repelled, with your attack strength.
• Level 1 and 2: a message with a link to the same report.
• Level 3: nothing.

Your strength in relation to the target's defense:

On Speedserver Season 1 the levels are the same as on the other servers. But a failure no longer costs everything automatically: the closer you got, the more units escape. Chance decides the exact share within the range, at least one unit is always lost.

• Example: 14 agents against a defense that is a bit stronger (80%). The espionage is uncovered, between 1 and 4 agents are captured, the rest return.
• The report and the message show how many units were captured. The target sees it too.
