Killing my spies

[trevi2]

Hi all. According to what I know it was considered a bug for HOI2 Doomsday the fact that when an spy fails in a mission he is killed, and that bug is supposed to be solved with the patch 1.3. I have that patch but it is still happening to me so I do not put any interest in intelligence as I don't spies enough -lack of probability- in order to do the mission. What is the way to solve this? Which is the patch that solves this? May I edit any file to avoid it? and last...if I do any change via file or patch, should I restart the game I am playing? Thanks

1.) No, it's not considered a bug, it is working exactly as designed. A spy who fails at a coup attempt will be caught and executed.

2.) The patch which changes the spy system is Armageddon 1.3beta, not Doomsday 1.3.

3.) The new spy system doesn't mean your spies stay after a failure, but there are no spies at all. You keep up an intelligence network funding which will roughly cost the same as the entire research budget, and according to that funding, the distance between two nations and their respective slider settings / ministers / techs the mission success chance is calculated. A failure will not reduce chances for further operations, but not using the spy system will still cost money.

Given that, i believe it is not worth it to invest in intelligence as the probability is very low. Thanks
