Hideout
Function
Training and using spies
Requirements
Espionage
Resources needed

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

For use of spies and information on spying, see Spies

[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. 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.

[edit] Spy recruitment

Spy recruitment costs are 200 gold, 17 crystal, as well as a short amount of time spent on training. Unlike military units, spies require no upkeep costs. Also multiple spies cannot be queued.

Spy training time is simply 45 seconds per level below 20. Thus, at level 20, spy training takes no time.

Training a spy at in a level 20 hideout now takes 5m 23s due to the 0.2.8 patch. This is also confirmed in on the message boards here:

The table below needs to be updated.

[edit] Expansion Details

Please Note:

• There are some researches that help to reduce the building materials needed to build this building and they are cumulative: Pulley research reduces them by 2%, Geometry another 4% or 6% total and Spirit Level another 8% or 14% reduction bonus from the normal amount of wood and marble, sulphur, crystal glass, or wine required to build the buildings.
• The research bonuses are not shown directly in the following chart.
  These bonuses are shown by hovering your mouse over the individual resource numbers in the chart ( Pulley = 2% total, Geometry = 6% total and Spirit Level = 14% total).

If the chart below does not match your ingame chart and you don't want to mouseover the numbers to see how much the next level is going to take then click on one of the following researches should be the highest level you have researched to see the requirements for that research:
