SE in BtS
I'm been wondering... how is it that the SE will be feasible in BtS? Espionage is fueled by commerce, correct?
It seems to me that this is quite questionable, but it's probably a matter of something small that I'm missing... I'm dull like that. |

FWIW, I gather that there will be some sort of Spy specialist, since one of the previews said that Great Spies are born like other great people.

In the live chat they said that you can get Espionage points from specailists, and that the specialist/cottage dynamic will not change, but... I dont believe it. There are so many new features that one or the other will be stronger.
There has been almost no mention of specialists in the articles. The effect of corporations might make specialist or commerce econ stronger, but still, specialist econ shines in the early game. Certainly all the late game features make a case for transition to cottages after Democracy. Another idea, Spy Farm. A GP farm for spy specialists only. The espionage points could pay for all your counterespionage, and the great spies could be used for whatever. Apart from that GPfarm, you could just forget about spending commerce on Esp, and devote it to military or space race. The spy farm would get espionage modifiers, assuming there are some.
