Espionage?

I don't see any espionage function in-game. I would be great to be able to either send spies to a country or recruit espionage assets in a foreign country to get info on their military.

We think that something like that could be interesting to add.

I currently do not see what exactly should be implemented and how it will make a difference.

how it can work we can have what we called Intel agencies that use a special unit call black op units they can be managed and setup just like military units but instead of being based at offensive base and airports they have there own base of operation . black op units will have Special forces units and covert operatives and a choice of defensive or offensive air support . Covert operatives can be use to defend or attack . corps and bases and military units and navy can be targeted . the unit can target supply' of military units and also directly target weapons . they can also be airdropped into enemy countries and also able to sneak attack and also have a counter attack option . covert operatives are created by recruiting civilian or military personal or professional soldiers. . civilian targets like cities, corps and capital and Airports. and water and wind farms can be attacked and destroyed including garrisons . additional Abilitys can also target country cash taking a small percentage each operation also stealing supplies like ammo fuel and trucks . counter measures will be defensive covert operatives which will also be added to help defend from operations. peacetime operations will be restricted to Intel gathering and small cyber attacks which can cause disruption in corporations . wartime operations will allow larger cyber attacks and also direct attacks on enemy . Sneak attacks will be limited to 8 per game month per country by Intel agencies after that it will trigger an automatic war declaration . Ammo and gadgets use by opertives will be spyware and explosives like C4 and grenades and unmanned drones aka defensive and attack drones and light and heavy Ammunition. also implementing new corps for explosives and spyware . the effects will balance by gamemaster to make it a fair game for all Paid members and maybe also free Members. what do you guys think?

I think your idea is conceptually not thought out at all for any real consideration of introduction to the game.

If I understand your plan, you want to create a unit that utilizes Special Forces, a new Covert Operatives weapon, and either offensive or defensive support, we'll say helicopters, attack helicopters, or drones for the sake of your new unit's theme. Then you want that unit to be stationed at its own type of base independent of Offensive, Defensive, or Strategic - so presumably you picture Covert Operative as the first of this new department of weapons. You want the Covert Operative to be able to attack... everything. And you want them able to steal cash and stockpiled supplies. And sneak attack. And counter attack. And damage productivity of corporations in countries that you're at peace with. I'm sorry but no part of this plan actually feels thought out.

We had some ideas about a unit that could cross borders without a war declaration, and would be able to collect
data about the army of a country, locations, quality of units, ammunition etc. and if enough data is collected,
make it possible to create an attack plan.

The "invaded" country, should get a warning that such a unit is in the country.
It could destroy it by use of the same type of unit if it has some.
so these units can only attack the same type of units.

we did not go into many details as such a function requires some serious development and we
were frequently in a tight place with a large backlog of things to be done.

currently, the backlog is even larger, but we are at a point when future developments
will become easier.

If we want to add such a feature, it should be described in more details, and as Unsthable said,
must be recondidered and thought of in depth.
