[edit] Gyrocopter "Inspecting opponent's military" trick

If you have spied on someone's Warehouse but you can't spy on their military stationed in the town, or if you just want to learn how many and what units are protecting a town, send one Gyrocopter for a Pillage mission to that town. In the battle report, you will see a full report of the defending units in the town.

  • If the opponent has any Gyrocopters in the town, you will only lose your Gyrocopter, which is relatively inexpensive and quick to rebuild.
  • If the opponent has no Gyrocopters in the town, your Gyrocopter will scatter for 4 hours, and then it will return.

This means that you can see the defender's military for no cost, with the only drawback being that if your opponent has tons of goods in the town, you will waste one of the 6 attacks that are allowed to that town. Gyrocopters are also very fast, with a speed of 80 and arrive to the enemy town in almost no time, so they are very suitable for that kind of misssions.
