Is the KillSpy misison really bogus?

[Jimmyballz]

Hi All-

I've tried everything to complete this mission. From leaving my spies at the bottleneck of my cultural boundries, to leaving them in my cities, out of my cities, and yet enemy spies seem to sneak by me unnoticed. I would like to kill them...

Can I kill the enemy spies using the KillSpy mission?? - or is this a flaw in the BTS game/manual. Some other threads suggest this mission is only a myth.

Thanks in advance for any feedback

I'm pretty certain it's non-existent. If not, it's the best hidden game feature ever since I haven't heard of anyone ever using it

i read in the manual that there is a "spies cannot enter out borders" passive mission as well that doesn't work.

I'm almost 100% surethey're both non-existant. The manual is wrong.

The manual is wrong.

They're just testing us!

i have bin playing computer game for a very very long time, and this is the first time i have EVER heared of a manual being wrong. there has to be something more to this! did they remove them in a patch or something? does anyone have anymore info on this at all?

Yeah they removed it cause it gave other spies/Civs to much power

Really? I see it all the time. It seems to me that a lot of the time the manuals are written for an alpha build or for a version that wasn't final.

That, and if it existed someone would have found it by now.

Neither of these missions exist in the game. The manual is simply wrong (and that's hardly unusual in any game - they tend to be written well in advance).

I have never even seen either of those options come up.

On a side note, I see manuals that are wrong all the time. It's pretty common actually, much like the buggy programming of PC games that seems the norm these days.

The BtS manual is really low quality compared to other Firaxis manuals. I have no idea why this is. I hope that future games by Firaxis have better manuals.
