Hi!

I updated the Announcements and B&S threads, but also wanted to post here to note that I've added a new feature to the spyop page.

When you choose a spyop and a country that is within range to spy, you will receive a fuzzy success estimation within a 5% range.

This estimate includes spy DR in the calculation.

Hope you all like it!

maybe it is correct and you have no chance of failing

and its just saying you have more than you need to have no chance of failing

Not accurate enshula.

Unfortunately i missed 3 weeks of this set and have a spal 4x worse than my opponents. Im not close to them failing 9/10 whn im showing 125%.

There is a chance it is calculating my allies as 100% of their total against my land and not calculating their allies at all. That'd get somewhere close but still not right.

When my 100 spal types in a country with 400 spal im showing 125%. But im also showing 125% against a bot with 9 spal so its just wholly not on and i don't think a poor estimate from my allies. Just a broken calculation that isn't even in the ballpark.

I think its good that it doesnt work.. could be added as a separate op if it worked "Spy on intelligence network", gives number of spies, all ops done on and by the country all reset but not the result, as well as % chance of success if you do ops on him.

That way you can find players who did hostile ops for sure, you could ofc do this on dead countries as well as it is an intel op. And you could also see if the country is in spy DR.

Not really sure this is going to be an important part of the game anyway. I like spy ops for their obvious reasons and generally have enough spies to do the job. I rarely fail mostly because I set up for it in advance.

Uhm., I am not a fan of this change. You can easily reverse engineer this and get every player's REAL SPAL without using a single OP.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Yeah, I think this should be information given perhaps by the spy op but not before them.

I changed this to a range -- High, Moderate and Low so it's more obfuscated.

Ok, but did you fix the mechanics?

Doesn't really work. I can have "High" chances to do just a regular spy op on a country and fail 10 in a row.

People don't use the word obfuscate unless they intend for it to be entirely ambiguous and decidedly unknowable. Welcome to rhetoric.

Primary? Spying there is horrid, I can have 20 spal vs 5 spal and fail the first 3 spy ops then finally get one, since I've been running 10 to 15, I now get through in first op, even on countries running 20+ spal, makes no sense and it's been that way since I came back and started playing primary routinely.

Yeah. It seems if you have a spal of 50 it says high on everyone regardless of if they have 500 spal.

It's still inaccurate af but I feel like the game tries to give me a little confidence boost before I fail a bunch of ops so I'll take it.

I do still believe there's a bug in the way spies are calculated and this only further makes that case in my brain, but I'm sure it's just a bug in the output, amirite?

Sarcasm isn't the issue: the fact we knowingly use ambiguous wording makes us not telling the truth but tey and get a lie.. ?
