Spies wo'nt be the tell all unit anymore

Well it looks spies wo'nt be the tell all unit they used to be. I'm happy about this and did a poll on wether spies should tell all or be inaccurate. The approximate results from my memory was that 90 percent were in favor of this. I was watching the free DVD you get if you preorder and this comment came up: When you have spies in the area they can tell you the composition of th enemy army and depending how experienced they are will factor on there accuracy of the enemy composition.(not exact words but same context) Well anyways they show the spies reports and you see picture of units with numbers but there were also boxes with ? marks in the middle of them.


I love that this feature will be in and hope it leads to some nasty surprises.
I can just see it now, I was preparing to smash Hanibal to pieces and my spies had reported that he has 10 units of peasant quality 2 units of elite cavalry 1 unit of Libyan spearmen and a unit each of slingers and archers and to units of javelins. I prepared my 12 units of legions escorted by 2 cavalry units and 1 unit of archers to grind Hanibal into the dust. Much to my surprise Hanibal had hidden 5 extra units of libyan spearmen on his march and completely smashed my army and now threatens the city of Rome herself, The only thing I wonder is if you will be able hide units on a march such as have them trail a mile or 2 behind yr main army or if it will be just that spy reports a certain percentage of the enemy units along with there approx size.
