This is fantastic, I use it in just about every modded playthrough. It's not terribly balanced, but I play with far slower tech rates, so those even out! :)

This mod adds spy to each era, and there is a limit of spies per nation, which I think is 8. Going over this limit bugs the espionage screen.

Now, there is a National Wonder that gives a Spy - and England has that trait which gives one, so a mod like this is limited to giving 6 spies total (in fear of borking England).

I would suggest opening the Mod files for my mod and his (SamBC), and that will shed light on things for you, as mine was directly inspired by his. The files are easy to navigate and you might slowly find yourself opening files to change things you don't like into things you do like.


If you wanted to spy from the beginning of the game onward, you would go into the buildings/wonders files (wherever the Palaces are stored) and you would connect one spy to each Palace (just like Intelligence Agency does). But no matter how many spies you enable through modding, or how early:

Never allow more than 8 total which includes England and Intelligence Agency.

Is this compatible with his mod? So in total we get three extras?

For ancient era spy just make that the palace gives you a free spy like the intelligence agency does.

oh ok thx
Sol  [author] 3 Aug, 2012 @ 10:06pm 
yes, the files for espionage are not in vanilla.
Oracal11 3 Aug, 2012 @ 7:50am 
is this only for G&K?

Ok, thanks a bunch, and please dismiss my message about the Extra Spy, i just checked the Mods folder, and both of your mods contains the XML file.
Sol  [author] 2 Aug, 2012 @ 9:06pm 
i just re-uploaded a version 3, checking to make sure i have my files set to upload, if it fails again post here and i will create a new mod, move the file into it and hopefully it will fix it. Ive heard of this problem before, where a mod that is uploaded without having the actions checked might not upload correctly. hopefully your problem is fixed, if not it will be soon.
iamaplayer 2 Aug, 2012 @ 8:41pm 
I tried many times to download this mod and the Extra Spy one. Emptied cache etc...Anyways, it seems like both mods only contain the modinfo file.
SamBC 23 Jul, 2012 @ 3:26pm 
I have no problem with this :)
Sol  [author] 21 Jul, 2012 @ 8:20pm 
I did make one for ancient era, however that did not work because you never "enter" the ancient era. That made me unable to cause you to gain the spy in that age.

I am still looking for something that happens i can try to attatch a spy to that only happens one time at the begining of the game, such as founding your first city.
