[Callenalle]

How will intelligence and spies work in hoi4 if there even will be any.

 

[Denkt]

There will be no spies included in the release version of the game.

Intelligence is a passive ability affected by your decryption technology opposed by the enemy's encryption tech. Without intelligence you won't have good information on enemy troop numbers or IC, just vague estimates. Resistance in provinces will also provide some intelligence to the enemies of the occupier.

There's also the radar facilities for more strategic intel gathering, and recon companies representing tactical battlefield intel.

 

[LordOfWar16]

Intelligence is limited to decrytion and encrytion on release. Depending on how good you are at decrypting vs the enemies encrypting you get more detailed information about the enemies industry and military strenght. It will give you an rough estimate of the enemy forces and Factories, which gets more precise the better you decrypt it.

These are the encryption and decryption techs, those with the document with the lock and the magnifing glas.
