Greetings again. Do spies kept in our cities actually help counter-espionage? And in what point? I strongly believe in keeping enemy spies away so I have at least 7 spies in mine for counter purposes. but do they really work or they just lay there? Is 7-8 spies a good number or should I get more? Walls: Not my favorite part but it is a necessity isn't it? Which is the minimum level for walls in your opinion? Thanxs Harkon |

Good question about the spies. I go for 100% defense bonus on all walls. It's a pretty cheap investment, just takes time. |

As melocopter said, walls are a pretty cheap investment in defense. A high-level wall can double or triple the defensive effectiveness of your troops. Not sure where I read it, but someone said 8 spies were the minimum they kept at home. |

As far as spies go from my experience. I have a level 13 hideout. I can easily spy on a level 8 hideout with not problems. I think it only is a 10% chance of getting caught. But that depends on the size of your city. I you truly want to keep people out you need to be within 3-5 levels of your city level to make it almost impossible to get in. The bigger your city the easier it is for others to get in. I have all of mine set at level ten for lvl 18 cities. except for my major hideout that I spy from is a 13 so that I can have spies out and still be protected. I you try to spy on my city with a lvl 10 hideout it should be somewhere around a 60% chance that you will be caught. then once inside my city if you make it in. it will be 95% chance that you will be caught if you try and spy on anything. lol So they do really work. |
