I'm playing my second full game of BtS and am still getting the hang of a few of the new mechanics, especially Espionage and the Apostolic Palace.
My primary question now is about protecting myself against enemy spying, especially tech stealing. If I build a spy and just leave it sitting in one of my cities, does that help catch enemy spies that come to steal my tech? Is there any other defense against tech stealing other than the counterespionage mission that doubles the cost of missions against you?
Every time I research a new tech, it seems to be stolen right from under me.
Also, can spies sabotage/destroy the Apostolic Palace? (I assume they can't but just making sure, since that's been the other thorn in my side in my current game.)
