Are Espionage points coming back??

[clut]

one thing that bugs me with the current release of FfH is the inability to see any of the other civs on the demographics chart.

Is the team thinking of including these into a future version of FfH, or maybe a different mechanic that performs a similar function.

I've manually edited my XML files to make each civs palace give espoinage points, and I can now see other civs demographics in my game (provided I've got a good enough ratio to the other civ). The next step would be to add flavour, so that the Sidar get more points from their palace than other civs, and add EP to certain buildings.

No, Kael's not planning on adding bts espionage but they are trying to sort out the demographics thing iirc.

That's cool.

Personaly I did find having to manage EP's along with everything else a bit of a pain. I was thinking about giving each civ's palace 50 EP's, so hopefully you wouldn't have to micromanage where they were spent. You'd always have more than enough to see all civs demographics.

Not sure if that'd have an adverse effect on other areas though. I'd have to test it out first.

Kael doesn't plan to ever use BtS espionage--but I do.

I just started looking into the C++ code for it yesterday, and it will be a while before I'm ready to include in in my modmod (it won't be in the next version), but eventually I plan to implement it as I recommended in this thread: Adapting BtS Espionage to FfH
