[edit] Building Information

A wise leader always has a eye on both, his allies and his enemies. The hideout allows you to hire spies who are able to provide you with information from the inside of other towns. A larger hideout provides space for more spies.

• Requires: Research: Espionage

[edit] Spies

Once "activated" and sent on an espionage mission, the spy (for a fee) will try to infiltrate the target town. After the infiltration has been successful, the spy remains stationed in the target town, and can be assigned new orders, or recalled back to the hideout. While a spy is stationed in a town you will be able to see the levels of all the infiltrated town's building levels. Seeing an enemy town's building levels after a spy infiltrates a town does not increase the risk at all.

Any trained spies, which have not been sent with espionage orders and remain in the Hideout, are working in the defence, increasing the chance of failure of enemy's espionage missions on the town they are stationed in.

[edit] Risks

At any stage, from infiltration to returning home, there is a certain risk of spy being caught. The risk is significantly increased a short time after the mission has been completed, so it is recommended to wait for a "cooling off" period before assigning the spy with a new order. The level of risk is also affected by the size of the town. In larger towns there are more citizens, so the chances of the spy being caught are drastically reduced. However, the opposite goes for smaller towns with fewer people. The current risk levels for each of the spies can be monitored in the "Hideout" window, "Spy on mission" section. As your hideout level increases your risk of being caught decreases. A spy can only be discovered on his way to the town or at a failed attempt of a mission, so you can plant a spy somewere and literally (with patience of course) leave a spy in a town for a year undetected if you do not do any missions.

Where:

is the number of spies defending the town being spied on.

is the level of the hideout in the town being spied on.

is the size of the town hall in the town being spied on.

is the level of the spying player's hideout (in the town the spy was sent from).

Mission	Mission Risk
Infiltrate	5
Spy Treasure Chamber	24
Recall Spy	30
Inspect warehouse	30
Spy out Level of Research	40
Online Status	50
Spy out Garrison	70
Observe Fleet and Troop Movements	80
Observe Communication	90

[edit] Examples

Player (A) wants to spy out Player (B)'s warehouse. (A) has a level 15 hideout, (B) has a level 12 town, level 8 hideout with 7 spies in defense. Player (A) leaves the spy for several hours after it enters the town so the Cooldown Risk is 0. This mission is Inspect Warehouse.

Now, a more challenging scenario. Player (A) wants to spy out Player (B)'s warehouse. (A) has a level 32 hideout (maxed-out!), (B) has a level 20 town, level 25 hideout with 25 spies in defense. Player (A) leaves the spy for several hours after it enters the town so the Cooldown Risk is 0. This mission is Inspect Warehouse.

Now, for an even more challenging scenario. Player (A) wants to spy out Player (B)'s garrison. (A) has a level 32 hideout (maxed-out!), (B) has a level 25 town, level 32 hideout with 32 spies in defense. Player (A) leaves the spy for several hours after it enters the town so the Cooldown Risk is 0. This mission is Inspect Garrison.

So, if you do NOT want to be spied on, max out your own hideout!

[edit] Spy recruitment

Spy recruitment costs are 150 gold, 80 crystal, as well as a short amount of time spent on training. Unlike military units, spies require no upkeep costs. However, like military units the higher level the hideout is the less time is used for training a spy. Note that multiple spies cannot be queued.

[edit] Expansion Details

Please Note:

There are some researches which reduce the resources required for the construction of buildings. Pulley reduces the required amount of resources by 2% (2% total) Geometry reduces the required amount of resources by 4% (6% total) Spirit Level reduces the required amount of resources by 8% (14% total)

There are some buildings that reduce the resources demands. Architect's Office reduces the   requirements by up to 32% Carpenter reduces the   requirements by up to 32% Firework Test Area reduces the   requirements by up to 32% Optician reduces the   requirements by up to 32% Wine Press reduces the   requirements by up to 32%

There are some buildings that increase the production of resources. Alchemist's Tower increases the production of   by 2% for every level built. Forester's House increases the production of   by 2% for every level built. Glassblower increases the production of   by 2% for every level built. Stonemason increases the production of   by 2% for every level built. Winery increases the production of   by 2% for every level built.

• Research bonuses are shown separately in the following chart. These bonuses are also shown in the tool-tips by hovering your mouse over the numbers in the chart.

Level 32 is the highest building level possible to upgrade to. No further upgrades are possible, because this is the building's true maximum level. [2]

Notes:

1. ↑ A Soft cap is a maximum level that is shown in the in-game Help (Ikipedia) section of Gameforge's games. However, structures can be built to higher levels than what is shown until you reach the Hard cap.
2. ↑ A Hard cap is the highest building level possible to upgrade to. No further upgrades are possible either because the upgrade button is missing, or the next level would exceed the max possible storage of the town's warehouses.
