Can you disable Espionage in VP?

[Vantucci]

I am new to VP, and playing my first game with it. When I set up the game, I checked the box for No espionage, but yet I am now receiving notifications that civs are using spies against me (most recently can't build anything in my capitol for 5 turns.).

What gives? are you not able to disable espionage in VP? If not, then is it possible to REMOVE that check box from the settings? Although if this is the case, I will probably never play VP again.

Are there other settings that are not effective in VP ?

Whenever I check the box for no espionage, there are no spies in my game. No idea what is wrong here.

really? OK, good to know. I wonder if it is a combination of checkboxes that breaks it? I'll try to fool with it in another fast pace game.

thanks for the response!

Yeah afaik "No Espionage" just turns spies off.
There is also "Passive Espionage" where spies only do their passive things like vision and science boost ("siphon") which was introduced to be a more balanced setting (because it doesn't kill England or extra-spy Wonders/Policies).

If you're still having issues I suggest rerun the VP installer? I doubt it's a mod conflict because basically nothing touches that, but you never know.
