Great Spy?

[CivilizationRox]

Do you think there will be a great spy?

The only two new great people are great admiral and great prophet.

I hope so and I hope they keep 007 for England. If they take 007 away from England, which I have heard they did. Then hopefully a great spy will be called 007, and another could be Ethan Hunt. There should be some interesting historical spies added as well. If they don't add it in GnK, it will most likely be added in the second expansion.

I wonder what it's UA would be. Maybe he could build a top secret spy facility where the civ has its own Q, for instance, who discovers and researches new covert technolgy, to help spies meet their objectives. This could give the civ a science boost as well as a boost to the civs spies chances when performing missions. I love this spy stuff, been watching spy movies for some time now, waiting for June 19th to come around.

Nah, remember spies aren't even units on the map, so they won't have great spies.

 

[Gucumatz]

Again wasn't there an article about a Great Spy somewhere? I thought I remember this because it was one of the features being discussed somewhere in a thread here about features barely discussed.

No spies are on the map, but that does not mean there won't be a great spy at some point. If they do it may be something that influences spying via the espionage interface. Perhaps it could be expended to give a bonus to spies across the board. A covert trainer or something. Or a great spy could be useful for a certain mission only he/she can perform. That could be interesting.

I don't think they should put them on the map, but maybe you can expend the great spy and it will build a type of secret covert agency building, perhaps in your capital, or as some improvement. Likened to an academy or manufactory.

All I am saying is that there are some options open. Really they don't need a great spy though. I suppose the idea just gives us something to speculate about is all.

I believe it would have been an excellent question for us to have asked at Pax. I wish I had thought of it then.

I don't think there will be a Great Spy. There has been no mention of one, and I don't see where one would fit into the gameplay described for Espionage.

 

[nokmirt]

Well only the devs know that, not any of us. So we'll see.

Well, spies can promote, so maybe it is named a 'great spy' when a spy is at it's highest promotion?

Laughing at the prospect of a great spy. Cause if they were recognized spies then they wouldn't be great spies. Yeah...

Why do you have to be recognized to be good?

And wot, if James Bond was real he wouldn't qualify as great cause all the villains no him?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

There have been Great Spies on every screenshot released so far. You just can't see them because they are Great at Spying.

Im saying that if they were recognized they would NOT be good...as...well...everyone would know who they are...and they couldnt spy...Yeah

No spies are on a interface not the map.

 

[nokmirt]

No spies are on a interface

Yes they are on an interface. We were told that ages ago.

 

[fuzzatron717]

that's what i said

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Pro Bono? No, money down!

 

[nokmirt]

that's what i said

Then what was your point then? Your case so far is like a house of cards.

Moderator Action: Is this a Laurel and Hardy routine? Please try to understand what each other is saying. No need to get angry of frustrated, this can be a difficult medium to work through, and punctuation helps with understanding. Seems to me you are talking past each other?

Not sure where the conversation was going. So, your probably right. I can tell you what is happening, we are all finding it difficult, to find new and interesting things to talk about. Plus, the fact that I am tired out mentally from finals does not help matters.

One thing is that I know spies are on an interface. I never said that was not the case. As far as there being a great spy, we'll all find out on June 19th. Until we hear more, none of us knows diddly squat.
