question on intell |
I have a huge amount of intell. points, looking at the empire comparisons I've got 12x more than the leading empire and all are on defence.
At least I've stopped having messages about supplies being destroyed and ships sabotaged.
But I still keep getting messages about covert scans.
What do I have to do? Do I need better scanners or more satellite coverage? Or should I just ignore them?
Re: question on intell
It might work to try a little offensive intel against the perpetrators. Get them to spend their points on defense.
Last I knew, the AI wasn't really equipped to make much use of the information it collects. Big deal if they scan a planet or steal a ship design - are they going to act on this information? Stolen techs and sabotage are problems, but anything else is essentially harmless.
Sats & scanners won't help with this problem. The covert scan is done by intel agents, or you wouldn't get the message.
Re: question on intell
Throw some Sabotage actions their way since you have such a large Intel amount. Show them who's boss in the underworld!
Keep back enough Intel to be just barely more than what they are hitting you with.
Re: question on intell
I take it you are playing Balance Mod with its "leaky intelligence" feature.
This means some intel projects will go through your defenses, even when you have much more points than the other empires.
The other possibility could be that your defensive intelligence spending is too low (everything that is not used for projects counts for that). But I doubt you missed this.
