naTia Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I was considering what spies were good for, mostly getting intel and capsizing a couple boats, and said to myself "so that seems like it helps the war effort a little bit". I then thought about ways spies could be used to help with the war effort even more and considered the idea that maybe they could be able to do as follows: Action: Sabotage Planning Effect: It would get rid of a single military action point of your enemy, or in the case of no action points left, halt the acquisition of a single point. Explanation for Effect: The spies might Assassinate an enemy leader (non-functional) Detonate an explosive destroying vital war plans (non-functional) Provide false information on the war (non-functional) 6 Quote Resident DJ @ Club Orbis Founder of The Warehouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrum Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think this is a brillient idea I would actually like to say they should get rid of two but cost at least 100 k with a meduim chance of success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placentica Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I love the idea of spies knocking out 1-2 action pts. Quote Hello!

Vincent Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Spy can also be used to incite the population of the enemy nation to rise up. ( Reducing the production of resources for a number of turn? and income ). what about including that as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanislaw Sikorski Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 A nice idea that would give spies a very good use and stop wars from going on too long. Quote Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Not really necessary, since your thread is already about suggestion for new stuff that spy can do then i was thinking it can be placed right here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikhail Gorbachev Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Spy can also be used to incite the population of the enemy nation to rise up. ( Reducing the production of resources for a number of turn? and income ). what about including that as well Maybe only for autocracies? That's not a typical thing that happens irl to democratic nations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiliam Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Elimination of war points is a great idea! Perhaps there could also be an option that would allow spies to temporarily knock ships and aircraft out of action for a couple of hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Alex Posted November 18, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2014 How are we going to decide which war points get removed, assuming the target is in multiple wars?

Doom Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 How are we going to decide which war points get removed, assuming the target is in multiple wars? Maybe you can only do this action when you are at war with the person, and you could only attack the military actions in the war with him and yourself? Quote All hail Irken All hail the Tallest!

elsuper Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 How are we going to decide which war points get removed, assuming the target is in multiple wars? I'd think if the spy attack came from a combatant, it would remove a point from their war. Otherwise, maybe the one with the most accumulated points?

Dark Specter Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 maybe add a spy feature that changes a nations tax rate which will have an impact on their economy? Quote Amidst the eternal waves of time From a ripple of change shall the storm rise Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon Behold the razgriz, its wings of black sheath The demon soars through dark skies Fear and death trail its shadow beneath Until men united weild a hallowed sabre In final reckoning, the beast is slain As the demon sleeps, man turns on man His own blood and madness soon cover the earth From the depths of despair awaken the razgriz Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiliam Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 maybe add a spy feature that changes a nations tax rate which will have an impact on their economy? I don't think that's very realistic or a good idea my-self. Perhaps allow spies to sabotage improvement which would short term impact production output ?

Dark Specter Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 everything in this game doesnt have to be based on realism Quote Amidst the eternal waves of time From a ripple of change shall the storm rise Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon Behold the razgriz, its wings of black sheath The demon soars through dark skies Fear and death trail its shadow beneath Until men united weild a hallowed sabre In final reckoning, the beast is slain As the demon sleeps, man turns on man His own blood and madness soon cover the earth From the depths of despair awaken the razgriz Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiliam Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 everything in this game doesnt have to be based on realism I get that, but you can't have it go so far from realism in my mind. The ability to change the tax rate of another nation is not the way forward in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmad Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Interesting idea, but I don't know how a lot of people would feel about it. Might have to mess around with the percent of success on a couple of those I would suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
