One of the easiest ways to gain more experience is to attack other players. It allows you to gain not only experience, but also resources for expanding your own domain however some times your opponent may have no resources to offer you which can become quite frustrating when you are looking for people targets to start a new expedition The best way to find out who has whatever you need is not to attack at random and hope for the best but rather to use some of those people you have sitting in your city and send them on reconnaissance missions.

Duration of operation

Similarly to costs of the operation, depends on distance between both squares and on how many details you want to get.


Scope of spying

You are able to charge your spies with four different types of missions. The more detailed reconnaissance missions have a higher chance for your spies to be caught. They are:

  • Scour waste baskets: informs you about levels of buildings.
  • Take prisoners for questioning: informs you about exact opponent's stats.

Every consecutive mission includes all the benefits of the previous missions.

Chance of success
