Hello.

I love the spy promotion tree. :)

But it can make spies too powerful.
In my last game, thanks to an early GW and 3 consecutive great spies, I generated an insane amount of esp. points toward my neighbor Pacal, and could almost instantly strip him from everything he researched: not only the early techs, but Feudalism, Guilds, Divine right and Education. :eek:
The best part: after 2 "avoid detection or whatever the phrasing" promotions, my spies always had 100% chances of stealing a tech. :goodjob:
I think there should always be at least a few % chances of failing and getting caught, don't you think likewise?

But you say yourself, this was a very special circumstance. I love the spies as they are and would be sad if they were nerfed in any way.
