Using Spies

[unmerged(64768)]

Anyone getting a lot of usage out of spies? I just am not finding their utility matches up with the price. I guess if I got 3 spy-enhancing court advisors and really sent out a lot, I might think differently. But just getting 1 every 3-5 years or so means that I dont use them at all.

I guess a good strategy would be, if you were getting good regeneration on them, to spam out rebellions at the end of a war when the enemy couldnt deal with them.

Any thoughts

yeah, I haven't really used spies regularly yet. then again I suppose it is just a demo. probably use em more in the full game.

I have found plenty of other stuff to use my cash on - with all the new buildings etc. It may turn different when you get further into the game, but else I am considering modding it a bit, so spies are a little cheaper.

Stupid question, but how do you actually use them.

Can't find the tab or whatever for utilising them

In the province screen you see the ugly mug of the spy in the left lower corner. That's the spy button.

I think that the spies are insufficient. I would love some more alternative, like getting rid of a enemys king Not that it should be easy or cheap but it would be nice when your king is the next in line to become Emperor, but the present Emperor refuses to die.

And if this is to much, maybe we could get the same alternative with other nations commander.

Make intrigues would be nice also, so that you could destroy two allies relations to each other.

I think spies will take on a whole new dimension in multiplayer.
