question

[Titus Livius]

Hi, i have two questions:
1. how does the limit of spies you can recruit work? does it depend on the amount of territories you hold?

2. has anyone seen the AI use spies to open gates? i have seen many times spies of opposition never being used and i find them where they start proving my point.

No it depends on the number of brothels/taverns/inns etc that you have.

Yes I have. It can be quite annoying.

Hey there, all of your non-military type units have limits on how many you can recruit, based on how many of the buildings you have in your entire kingdom. For instance, when you open your city browser and youy right click on a building, it will tell you that it enables the recruitment of a spy, assassin, priest, diplomat or merchant. Each time you build another building that allows the recruitment of that unit type, then you can recruit one more from ANY city that has the right kind of building.

And yes, the AI can and does open the gates on you, especially at harder levels, but I would not say it happens a lot...

yeah, the AI does use spies, but they dont often open my gates for them, they dont use the old move 5 spies into the target city to get a sure thing approach im sometimes known to have used, lol
