Espionage Failure Question - Need answer URGENTLY!

[vra379971]

...Spying doesn't give anywhere near the diplomatic penalty you would get in civ2 or civ3. All that happens is you have a random chance to get a -1 "your spy was caught causing trouble" penalty if your spy gets caught in their territory or fails a mission...

Alright. How random is this chance exactly...I really do need to know.

ESPIONAGE_SPY_REVEAL_IDENTITY_PERCENT = 25 from Global Defines --> every 4th caught spy will give away the name of his boss.

Just checking...
Do you mean on average 1 in 4 spies will give the name away, or literally every fourth one?

Well, it was percent, so my bet would be on average...


Good to know by the way.

 

[DanF5771]

sorry, on average of course.

So would my bet. It's just the way dan said it had me thinking. A percent is not number a variable that will go into a random variable. I wonder if I might tweak that 25 by the way.

EDIT

sorry, on average of course.

Ah ok thanks for the reply.
