Pre-Industrial Icon. Art by Tomatekh.

Great Spy is a Civilization V mod created by Tomatekh. It adds the Great Spy as a new great person type to the Brave New World base game. The unit is designed to function independent of (but also complement) the existing espionage system. The mod also adds additional wonders, buildings, and beliefs and updates several existing buildings and policies to accommodate the new unit.

Overview

From the ninjas of feudal Japan, to the quimitchin of the Aztec Triple Alliance, to the spymasters of the British Empire, "Great Spies" are those individuals who have slipped unseen into foreign lands to gather intelligence and return to whisper what they've learned into the ears of kings. They pull the strings of world leaders, rig elections, and tip the hands of revolutionaries when needed. They guide an undercurrent of history filled with deception, sabotage, and assassination.

Strategy

The Great Spy excels at exploring foreign territory and sabotaging rival civilizations. Its primary ability is to conduct Espionage Missions; thirteen unique actions that enable you to cause anarchy, destroy resources, lower city population, and even steal great works. As a secondary ability, the Great Spy receives passive bonuses to movement, sight, and the ability to enter rival territory. Additionally, as long as the Great Spy is on a tile owned by another civilization, you will be able to see that civilization's current culture level and research project.

Intelligence

Intelligence is a new pseudo-yield primarily used to generate Great Spies and fund their more powerful Espionage Missions. Additionally, whenever you reach 50% of your current Great Spy generation threshold your Intelligence level will reveal a strategic resource plot before researching its prerequisite technology (i.e. reveal a source of Iron before researching Bronze Working). Late game, excess Intelligence can be exchanged to increase your score. Intelligence is generated through wonders, buildings (the defensive line – walls, castles, etc. – and the new Tavern building), and certain beliefs and social policies. Additionally, once you construct either the constabulary or police station in a city, you can generate Intelligence from Unemployed Citizens.

Espionage Missions

All Espionage Missions always have a 100% chance to succeed. Certain missions have an additional survival chance which returns the Great Spy to your Capital allowing you to re-use the unit; this has no impact on the success of the mission. The presence of espionage buildings in the target city alter mission costs, rewards, and survival chance.

Espionage Missions cannot be conducted against a rival civilization that has recently undertaken the "Perform Counterespionage" mission.
