What are the three most useless, yes the question is for the three most USELESS espionage missions? I want to hear if anyone is using some of the less popular missions to good effect. Some of them seem so useless, so hopefully it's just that I don't understand there usefulness.

Me too. You had better start this poll over considering the error rate among the first few responders. Frankly, I think that most are useless in relation to cost.

I guess that explains the city revolt getting so many votes, I find its the most useful, almost an exploit actually.

LOL, if "Steal Technology" had been on the list, I would have voted useFUL as well, but then I thought to myself "How could the best mission be left off the list?", an re-read it correctly.

I only voted for 2, Steal Gold and Insert Culture. I stopped wasting precious ESP points on stealing a lousy 33 gold a long time ago, its just plain not worth it. Your better off not even bothering the build that Spy, heh. Insert Culture was next because I have yet to find a situation where I would use it.

Now, I think you should run 2 separate polls, 3 MOST[/BT useful and 3 [B]LEAST useful, phrased like that, with the key words in bold, and I think people will get it right. My 3 most useful are:

Steal Tech
Insight Revolt
Counterespionage

I voted for "Steal gold"

The AI always seems to have next to no gold...

I had the same experience.
