How to create/use a spy

[scarpit]

Hi!
I have just created the Intelligence agency in one of my cities, but I can't figure out how I can plant a spy in one of the other civ's cities? Do I need to be at war with someone to do this, or what???
Hope someone can help!

Hmm. I do not personally use spies but I think you right click on the city with the intelligence agency and go to espionage. I am not sure though. Your manual should have it outlined clearly.

Look near this city name( which built the CIA), there is a logo, click it and then you can plant a spy, if you do not succeed wait next turn.

If you succeed to plant a spy into a.i. capital, then, click on the logo NEAR A.I. CAPITAL to activate spying mission.

I have tried to plant spies but I succeded only once (with almost 20 attempts) How do you make it in only 1-5 attempts?

Base on my gaming experience if you fail to plant a spy, WAIT for the next turn, if you try again same turn it will fail most of the time because they are aware. Some governement like communist improve spying mission sucess.
