Hi. Does anyone know of a thread or strategy article covering the factors which influence the odds ratio for success of an Espionage Mission (particularly technology stealing). I am trying out an Espionage Economy strategy in an ongoing game but, although I have embedded Great Spies in 2 of my competitor Civs and loads of EPs, my spies manage to complete the steal less than 30% of attempts (i.e. I have lost 10 spies and gained only 3 early techs, nothing after currency. Is this usual? Am I just having a bad RNG run or am I missing a few tricks?
