Spying

[maros522]

Hi, I cant find any information about spying in civ V. Will be there some possibilies to spy in time of peace?

No espionage system.

Going to have to even mod in spy planes.

The lack of espionage im sure is only temporary, im pretty sure firaxis will add a really good system in an expansion. still the game more than makes up for it.

I won't complain about the lack of a spy system as a whole, but I'm kinda surprised there aren't at least some very very basic spy units.

Not even close to game breaking, just a bit disappointing.

I think that they will add something. Espionage is great weapon in preparation before war and great weapon against stronger enemies. You need information about unit grouping and new technologies of your friend/enemies. I think that spy unit will be good but I think that there is better solutions. Spying is great part of real word and it is still using. Maybe they can add to tech tree some cipher and decipher things.

they took out technology trading and technology stealing from the game...it seems they don't want that kind of thing happening anymore. will they introduce espionage in an expansion pack? i hope not otherwise i'll have to care about it. i think it would totally disrupt the flow of the new civ gameplay
