Espionage holds a prominent place in Civ. However, there are no events related to this especially fertile ground for development. So, I suggest the following additions to the list of possible events. I have developed these ideas over the last few decades playing Civ. Some of them I was able to apply using World Builder and manual techniques. So, I suggest the following additions to the list of possible events.
One of our important spy rings in [Country] has been exposed. A number of our spies have been caught and executed. There is massive political fallout. Lose 400x Espionage Points against [Country] and lose two levels of relationships with [Country] (MUST have Intelligence Agency)
Our security service has exposed a large ring of spies from [Country]. [Their ambassador refuses to comment. The media has been trumpeting the success. [Country] loses all their accumulated espionage points against our Country. Gain 100x Espionage Points against [Country]. (MUST have Security Bureau)
We have discovered hidden surveillance devices in our embassy in [Country]. [Country] has vehemently denied any involvement. Gain 100x Espionage Points against [Country]
The ambassador of [Country] has announced that our hidden surveillance devices have been found in their embassy in our capital City. Our Foreign Minister has publicly denied the accusations. An investigation has revealed that it was our security services had installed them..
Lose 100x espionage points against [Country]. [Country] gains 400x Espionage Points against us.
Our intelligence service has been exposed smuggling illegal drugs into our Country. The public is outraged and the legislature has launched an investigation. A number of intelligence agents are terminated from employment. Intelligence Agency does not operate for ten turns. (MUST have Intelligence Agency)
Our intelligence services have been exposed conducting LSD and mind control experiments on our citizens without their knowledge. The public and the Medical Association are outraged and launch a furious campaign to shut down the Intelligence Agency. The program is shutdown and all the responsible agents are prosecuted and jailed. Lose 200x Espionage Points and 200 Culture Points. (MUST have Intelligence Agency)
Our security service has been exposed illegally surveilling dissident political groups in our Country. Protests break out across the Country. Up to ten Cities experience one to four turns of civil disorder. 25% chance Security Bureau is destroyed. Lose 1000x Culture Points. (MUST have Security Bureau)
Our intelligence service has been exposed mining the harbors of [Country] (not at war with country but country is unfriendly). A number of neutral ships have been sunk. Many Countries have lodged diplomatic protests and several have asked for restitution for ships that have been sunk. Lose two levels of relationships with [Country]. Pay 400x Gold in restitution. (MUST have Intelligence Agency)
Our intelligence service has been exposed assassinating leaders of other Countries. Wide international condemnation has occurred. Lose one level of relations with other Countries. An investigation has been launched by the legislature. Intelligence Agency ceases to operate for ten turns. 10% chance the government falls and a revolution occurs. (MUST have Intelligence Agency)
During a religious political revolt in [Country], an extremist group of terrorists have kidnaped our embassy staff and they demand a ransom of 200x Gold and the release of several terrorist prisoners.
1) Pay the ransom and release the prisoners to obtain the release of the embassy staff.
2) Threaten to declare war unless they are released. 50% chance they are released. Gain one level of relations with other Countries. Otherwise, declare war.
3) Pay 400x Gold to finance commando rescue raid. 50% chance rescue succeeds. Gain two levels of relations with other Countries. Otherwise, prisoners are held for 1-4 turns. Add one Sad Face in every City for each turn they are held.
Our intelligence service has been exposed flying suspected terrorists to other countries to be tortured and then flying them back after the needed information has been obtained. Human rights groups are causing significant political pressure to be brought against the government
1) Publicly state that [Country] does not torture suspects and the extraordinary rendition program will be shut down but secretly allow it to continue. (Event may be repeated). Suffer one Unhappy Face in [Country} for one turn. Lose one level of relations with other countries.
2) Order an investigation and prosecute a few scapegoat intelligence officials. Pay 200x Gold in costs.
3) Order the program to be shut down, prosecute the responsible intelligence officials, and allow court cases for civil rights violations to proceed. Pay 800x Gold in damages and gain one level of relations with other countries. Intelligence Agency ceases to operate for ten turns.
(MUST have Intelligence Agency and DURING/AFTER Aviation)
These events would lend a significant amount of realism and historical color to the game. Thoughts anyone?
