I tried to investigate with spys, but they get detected sooner or later. Even when the others don't have the Alphabet. So, can the Great Spy be detected? It could be an interesting option to just move him around instead of settling or burn him. For example, if you want to check the military might of all your surrounding neighbours instead of only one.

The Gr8 Spy can't be detected, but its better just to infiltrate the desired civ and then you will get LoS to all his cities.
You only get line of sight to one civ _and_ you only see the fields directly around the city (2 fields if the city is on a hill). This is not always enough to see an possible invasion stack near your border. Also in multiplayer a human will move his army outside the cities if he was spy-bombed (at least I do this).

How do you know when you've been spy-bombed?

You usually lose LOS over that player cities, because his EP went to the skies.
I had 8k Espionage points and the Portuguese had 12k on me. He wasted everything to destroy a part of my spaceship, and went to almost 0 EP. I got LOS over his entire empire. So i sent a couple spies and started to poison everything
