I was wondering what happens to spies in a country you end up annexing. I had heard that you cant relocate spies or remove them from a country.

So im wondering, do they just disapear?

Yup.

Doomsday has its own forum now, by the way.

Don't see that as single spies, it is more like a network, which has a 10% chance to improve, as the maximum is 10 (spies) it is more like 100% of the best possibility you could have to do something ...
so if you annex a country, the network is gone ...

maybe it should be used to undermine the partisans in that region ?

I would say, that if you are going to annex a country, don't waste your money on sending spies there.

Spies are expensive and prone to failure, so if you have to invest in them, stick to the big countries that will be around for a while.
