Espionage.....
Hello I was playing the game and it came to me that I didn't have a single spy in the game so I went to the little E thingy on the info bar and tried to plat a spy. there was no option for it, I have everything that is need to place a spy but it wont let me. All I can do is steal/get info on other city's.
I also built my space ship but it wont launch.
I'm I missing something here, I need help.
Now I should say that the game has ended but I wanted to keep playing, is this why my space ship wont launch?

You need to build an "inteligence agency" (small wonder)
then click on the "little sheild" next to the name of the
city where you built it.

They might as well rename the Intelligence Agency to the Institute for the Activation of International Warfare (IAIW.) For every successfully planted spy, there are five missions that result in instantaneous world war. It's more like "Pressing the Red Button."

But... As I find very small use of espionage during peace (as they`ll all be democracies anyway, and propaganda is not an option  ), I take the time to plant spies when I`m already at war with the target civ

Never used it successfully. Costs too much for too little a-gain for too little a-chance of success.
Build tanks and stonk instead.

There is only one REAL use for espionage.
Get that spy in their territory so you know just how any units are in their military
Good idea btw about planting spies during war-time.

Don't forget to plant your spies BEFORE you declare war. During war your embassy is closed and you can't plant your spy.
I haven't yet had success with them either, as far as covert (pay thru the nose  ) missions are concerned.

WRONG!
Planting spies has nothing to do with embassy. It`s Intelligence Agency. And it nicely works during war. And additionally, it allows you to not be afraid that they`ll declare war, cause you are already at war
