Just finished a LAN game with one of my friends (originally a total of 10 players) where I lost space race by 10 turns. The reason? I was easily winning in tech and production with he began "spy bombing" my cities non-stop. Most of my cities were in constant unhappiness and unhealthiness, they were going in and out of anarchy, he was forcing me to adopt civics, and eventually (to my dismay) he discovered he can also completely sabotage my space parts.
I had built as many spy buildings as I could (I had forgotten the tech for the intelligence agency however) and I was putting every single point into him. I had even started to build spies and station them in my cities as it said they somehow helped to thwart enemy spies.
What else was I to do?! I am not huge on espionage so I really wasn't used to sending spies at him myself. Would this have helped at all? Am I supposed to start using spy specialists as well?? I was literally about to win this game and my cities went to almost complete uselessness and he managed to pull ahead and win.
This has got to be the most obnoxious thing about BTS...I absolutely hate espionage but I need to learn to use it I suppose if I want to avoid this humiliating loss again. I just want to learn how to use counter-espionage more effectively so I'm not crippled in the future. I caught the majority of his spies, but it hardly mattered with the amount he was sending at me.
