Spies revealed invasion plans!?

Thanks both of you. I never used spies when I played MTW. Then came on market RTW and I massively used spies. After positive experience I started to use them in MTW but only if I don’t know what to do with money. I know that spies in RTW can open enemy gates, so I thought the same thing they do in MTW. But, I was wrong.
Thanks again.

Even with all they can do (and I didn´t know that prewarning feature until I played Pike and Musket), I still think them too much of a bother to get in large enough numbers to be effective. Assassins are even worse, for that matter. As counter-spies at best, but I rarely send them abroad. I just don´t get what good knowing the vices and virtues is.

AFAIK it's not plain "revelation", it's rather an uncovering of hitherto unknown traits (i.e. vices) of the target general. which may be of little impact (e.g. Adultery on a mere general) or quite devastating (like Unhinged Loon on the enemy king ) so it's up to you if you want to use your spies for these tasks. higher valour ones can be VERY able in this.

I only once managed that my spy revealed on some Polish general Blackmailer VnV. He rebeled next turn in civil war as he had 0 loyalty after he has been exposed.

And my friend in current Byzantine campaign with spy revealed on some Kievan general Glutonny VnV.
