and it also begs for tournaments to have all communication pass via the game chat and not via alternative channels (discord/voicechat), simply because that would render espionage ineffective on the communication plane (i.e. it would sabotage certain aspects of the game).

On the full reveal you said to put 5 or 6 spies in the target Provence...but which kind of spy? Intel military or economic!? Great videos....once again state your position on interceptors and their importance.

@BMfoxCallofWar

So now that you have watched the guide, what kind of espionage do you think it is? What's your stance on interceptors, do you want air dominance or not?

A question, because I don't get the mechanics on the stealing of resources. In the video you mention half the production of that day from that location. But what if the owner of the city has less resources available, he is just depleted to 0 and the spy still gets half the production, or does the spy get the amount depleted from the stocks of the victim?

Ok question because im not very good with spies I sent 1spy to another players city to steal food ( ecconomic ) and all i see in the paper is some food got blown up ... do i need more than 1 spy to steal ?? thanx

@BMfoxCallofWar

Well the food got blown up, it didn't get stolen by unknown robbers. You only get stolen resources not the destroyed ones.

By a province with no resource production, do you mean resources other than money because generally all provinces produce some money and manpower. And can spies be caught even if there are no spies on counter espionage in the province?

@BMfoxCallofWar

2 ай бұрын

provinces that only produce manpower and money aren't considered as resource provinces. Resource provinces will produce both: ressources, manpower and money. Spies can get caught when you have no spies on counter espionage but the chances are slimmer.

@@Literature4343 In reality it's very difficult and unlikely that you will capture spies with counter espionage as most players will move around their spies each day. Personally I only use them to protect the airbase at the front from which my planes are operating to prevent military sabotage damaging my airstrip. Same counts for key bunkers that will likely get sabotaged.

@Literature4343

@@BMfoxCallofWar Thank you very much for the response. How many spies do you employ to protect each of these airstrips and bunkers? 5? 10? And do you usually employ their services on a daily basis or only when you feel that the risk of enemy spy activity is high? Also on this note, what's your stance on "building/maxing out only one type of building in each province" VS "building multiple in one"? On one hand, the former approach utilizes resources more efficiently and allows for a higher average production output, on the other hand, the latter approach makes it much more manageable to keep the most vital provinces protected at all times, especially against espionage (since there would be fewer of them to protect bcuz each houses multiple maxed out buildings). Btw I discovered CoW like 4 days ago, is currently playing my very first game, and have been binging your videos like crazy. Much appreciated for your work!

@BMfoxCallofWar

@@Literature4343 2 or 3 spies to protect vital structures is sufficient on the premesis that the enemy doesn't employ more than 10 spies in your province. Espionage is based a lot on chance and it's not an exact science. Specialize each city in one building. If you have multiple buildings the others will be idle which is a waste of resources. Eventually you need to bring your military buildings to level 5 and that's expensive. In reality you only need two buildings per unit type so: 2 tank plants, 2 naval bases, 2 barracks, 2 foundries, 2 secret labs and 2 aircraft factories. You'll have 10 buildings spread over 10 cities. You don't need more as the goal is to produce non stop to avoid idle time. Idle time is lost time and an idle building is an inefficient use of resources. In general in your core provinces you'll have industry, recruitment office and a military production building. That's 3 buildings and the higher level ones have a lot of HP. That's too much HP for spies to take down.
