HELP: Espionage

Kindbud · November 5, 2001, 20:22

I have built an Intelligence Agency and have researched Espionage and want to conduct espionage missions but I can't seem to do it. I read the manual (sic!) and what a skimpy waste of paper that is (thanks for trying anyway, Friaxis) and from what I can tell, I should have the expanded list of espionage options available to me. Still, I can only investigate and steal tech. What am I missing? Is there something else I need to build or do? Help!

Go to the city where your Intelligence Agency is built. You will see a shield next to the name of the city. Double-click it. Let's you plant a spy.

Go to the Civ capital where you planted spy and double-click shield (next to city name) there and it will give you missions you can do.

Is there an easier way to do this anyone?

Auslander,

Thanks for the 911! You are right, there needs to be a better way. I kept trying to double-click on the capital city where I wanted to plant the spy. Never would have occured to me to click MY capital.

You know, at least with Civ2 I could use the keyboard for MOST of the actions in the game. It made things much quicker. Now, with Civ3, it's click this and click that and click ok, ok, ok... Come on Firaxis, patch the game to allow experienced players keyboard streamlining.
