idea for new espionage stat...

[lonewolf1817]

i think it would be cool if your espionage was successfull; to show you how the enemy was using there land...... anyone else like it? Or see any major flaw in it?

Well, there is a bit of an important mystique that comes with guessing somebody's building arrangements. Not knowing how many towers someone has is one of the most useful things about guard towers.

not knowing someones stats troops cash food & leaders are just as much of a mystique thus why i proposed the idea.... might be a fun piece of new info

Cast Scry at Valhall to see what he means in action, it's kind of neat.

Would be cool to make a new race which has that as its ability. Perhaps a leader race with average produciton ability, but has a more poweful espionage spell which is far more likely to be successful and returns more indepth info..

Hawk or Eagle or something, which would fit with it being able to get an aerial view of the enemy.

Not that it would be a good enough ability to make anyone actually choose to be that race I spose though haha  :P

I like this idea. A lot actually. If you think about it, A race like this is the perfect team mate. They can scout out other empires with lots of resources, or troops and send it all to the clan. The clan could then pick their strengths organize and destroy/take. In addition to espionaging, it could have some leader abilitys, or a farmer or something and still produce plenty of resources.  It would add a whole nother level of gameplay. The only problem with it is that, every team would have one, and hiding your resources just got that much harder ;)

Well just like at valhall, scry is a separate spell. I s'pose you could make this more powerful spell only available to that race, opposed to powering-up espionage, and make the new spell require better ratio, less chance to succeed, more loyalty etc. It would also need another special spell, probably quite a weak one, or the race wouldn't be much use, despite the spell.

How does scry differ from espy? I have never played Valhall

[Juska]

Scry returns the entire Army Status page.

That could be cool. I don't think it's powerful enough to have as a race ability though - maybe just an offensive mission that is about as hard to do a poison, say.

add in my new idea "ability to aid leaders" and uve got one (decent to compete with) leader friendly race....
